Standard infrared bandpass filters

from Andover

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, they can be tailored to suit your specific requirements.

Constructed of hard, durable first-surface dielectric coatings on optical-quality IR-transmitting substrates, these filters will withstand normal cleaning and handling associated with any high-quality optical component.

Features
  • Useful for isolating narrow spectral regions
  • Constructed of hard, durable first-surface coatings
  • Available in standard and custom wavelengths up to 14µm
  • Filters offered in 25mm dia, but custom sizes, shapes and optical characteristics available

Custom IR Bandpass Filters

 Andover can design and fabricate custom bandpass filters to suit your particular requirements. Every phase of the process is performed in-house, including thin-film coating design, mechanical design, substrate fabrication and polishing, coating, inspection and environmental testing.

We can coat a variety of substrate materials, including Germanium, Sapphire, Silicon, Calcium Fluoride, Zinc, Sulfide and Zinc Selenide. Contact our expert on the right for a quotation, whether it is for prototype quantities or production quantities.
