Edge filters

from Andover

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 quarter-wave stack, the filters use interference effects rather than absorption to isolate their spectral bands. Because edge filters will shift shorter with an increase in the angle of incidence, they are a good choice for fine-tuning the cut-on/cut-off wavelength. With their durable, first-surface dielectric coatings, Andover’s edge filters are built to withstand the normal cleaning and handling required by any high-quality optical component.

Features
  • Useful for redirecting a particular band of light
  • Provide steeper transition than color glass filters
  • Offer coverage over the 400–1000 nm range

Transmission
Long Wave Pass 85% average from the 50% cut-on point to 2000 nm
Short Wave Pass 85% average from the 50% cut-off point to 0.6 x the 50% cut-off point
Note: With the exception of the 400 nm filter, all SWP filters will drop off in transmission at wavelengths under 425 nm.

Long Wave Pass 99% or greater from 0.9 x the 50% point to the ultraviolet
Short Wave Pass 99% or greater from 1.07 x the 50% point to 1.25 x the 50% point
Effective Index of Refraction (n*) 1.7 (approximately)
