Colored glass filters

Colored glass filters are unique in their ability to transmit a very broad band of light. The long wave pass type, often used as order/wavelength sorting filters, transmit the longer wavelengths and ...


High-transmitting bandpass filters

Andover now offers a high-transmittance variant of its standard bandpass filter selection. By tailoring the blocking range to match the detector, we can provide maximum possible throughput while ...


Hard coat broadband filters

Our first-surface, hard-coat, broadband filters employ magnetron sputtered, hard-oxide coatings deposited on Borosilicate Glass and do not utilize any absorbing filter glasses, making them suitable ...


Customized bandpass filters

With a large inventory of components, Andover Corporation can manufacture and deliver high-performance, commercial-grade bandpass filters to your specifications within 5-10 days of receiving your ...


Metallic neutral density filters

Metallic-coated neutral density (ND) filters obtain their optical density from a metal alloy coating on a substrate determined by the wavelength region of interest. Unlike the all-dielectric or ...


Absorptive neutral density filters

With their ability to minimize back-reflections and scattered light, absorptive neutral density (ND) filters are ideal for calibration. In contrast to the metallic type, absorption-type filters ...


Steep-edge longpass filters

Our steep-edge long pass filters employ magnetron sputtered hard oxide coatings to yield deep rejection and a sharp transition to very high transmission. The coatings are deposited on precision ...


Astronomy/UBVRI filters

Andover Corporation offers two sets of astronomy/ UBVRI filters - the Johnson/Bessel and the Kron/Cousins types - as standard items. These wideband filters isolate and measure large specific bands of ...


Standard bandpass filters and sets

Andover offers one of the most extensive selections of bandpass filters in the industry, including many of the primary laser, mercury, biomedical, and analytical spectral lines. We use a proprietary ...


Calibration filter sets

Andover offers two filter sets for verifying the transmittance and absorbance scales of visible absorption spectrophotometers with maximum bandwidths of 2.2nm and 6.5nm. Made of uncoated Schott NG-4 ...


Dichroic filters and sets

Far more durable than dyed plastic or gel-coated types, dichroic glass filters have a hard dielectric film created by thin layers of metallic oxides. These color separation filters are designed to ...


Edge filters

Often referred to as long wave pass (LWP) and short wave pass (SWP) filters, edge filters provide a well-defined transition between reflecting and transmitting regions. Essentially a modified ...


Heat control filters

A combination of hot and cold mirrors can essentially eliminate 99% of the radiation generated by high-power illumination systems. The cold mirror, mounted at a 45° angle of incidence, transmits much ...


Standard infrared bandpass filters

Bandpass filters isolate specific regions of the spectrum, simultaneously providing high transmission of desired energy, and deep rejection of unwanted energy. Available in wide or narrow bandwidths, ...


Order filters for monochromators

We offer order filters for monochromators from 300 nm to 11.5 µm .


Neutral density filter sets

Absorption and metallic-coated neutral density (ND) filters. The metallic coated type ND filters employs a combination of absorption and reflection to reduce the intensity of lights. The absorptive ...


Standard long wave pass filters

Long wave pass filters provide a sharp cutoff below a particular wavelength. Often used for order sorting, they isolate broad regions of the spectrum, simultaneously providing high transmission of ...


Infrared windows and substrates

Andover stocks a variety of optical-quality infrared-transmitting substrates. All substrates are optically polished. AR coatings are also available. For convenience, we offer the windows in two ...


Broadband AR coating on germanium

Andover produces a non-radioactive dielectric multilayer coating designed to reduce the reflection of Germanium substrates in the infrared. Reflection is reduced from 36% per surface to less than 1% ...


Infrared neutral density filters

Metallic-coated neutral density (ND) filters obtain their optical density from a metal alloy coating on a substrate determined by the wavelength region of interest. Unlike the all-dielectric or ...


Custom infrared coatings

Andover Corporation offers optical coatings for the long wave infrared band, on substrate materials such as Germanium, Zinc Selenide, Zinc Sulfide, Silicon, Sapphire and chalcogenides. Coating types ...


Threaded filter rings

In addition to our standard rings, Andover offers a variety of threaded ring mounts. Standard sizes and thread pitches enable the user to attach the filter securely to equipment.


Motorized filter wheel

These filter wheels are used for a host of applications, including color CCD photography, fluorescence microscopy, and photometry. Two 4" dia, wheels are available: one which accepts six 25mm filters, ...


Temperature controller

The performance of very narrow bandwidth interference filters can suffer significantly due to changes in ambient temperature or aging effects. Elevating the filter temperature can counterbalance ...
