Rectangular Continuously Variable Neutral Density Filters

Linear Density Variation:

  • The optical density varies linearly across the longest dimension (length) of the filter, allowing for smooth and precise control over light attenuation.

Substrate Materials:

  • BK7: Provides excellent performance across the 380-2000nm wavelength range.
  • Fused Silica: Extends the usable range to 250-2500nm, covering UV, VIS, and IR spectra.

Optical Density Options:

  • Four maximum optical densities are available: OD1, OD2, OD3, and OD4. This range offers versatility in managing light transmission for various applications.

Broad Wavelength Coverage:

  • BK7 filters cover a transmission range from 380-2000nm.
  • Fused Silica filters extend from 250-2500nm, accommodating a wide range of spectral requirements.

Applications: Industrial Imaging, Machine Vision, Spectroscopy, Laser Experiments, etc.

Rectangular Continuously Variable Neutral Density Filters (ND Filters) are specialized optical filters designed to provide precise control over light attenuation. Unlike homogeneous ND filters that offer even attenuation across their surface, these rectangular filters have optical densities that change linearly along their length. This design enables fine control over the attenuation by adjusting the position within the coated region.
