Thorlabs’ bandpass filters provide one of the simplest ways to transmit light over a well-defined wavelength band, while rejecting other unwanted radiation. Their design is essentially that of a thin film Fabry-Perot interferometer formed by vacuum deposition techniques and consists of two reflecting stacks, separated by an even-order spacer layer.

  • Central Wavelengths from 1.75 to 9.50 µm
  • Wideband Filters with 500 nm Bandpass Region (FWHM)
  • Narrowband Filters Designed for Gas Absorption Lines with Bandwidths from 50 to 250 nm
  • Minimum Transmission at Center Wavelength: 70%
  • Ø1″ or Ø25 mm Mounted Filters with Ø21 mm Clear Aperture
