Infrared neutral density filters

from Andover

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 absorption type, the metallic type ND filter employs a combination of absorption and reflection to reduce the intensity of light.

Features
  • Provides attenuation with greater linearity over a wide spectral range
  • Delivers superior durability
  • Custom substrates available
