Shortpass Filters

Wavelength Selectivity: Shortpass filters offer precise control over the wavelength range allowed to pass through, enabling highly selective light transmission.

High Optical Performance: Many shortpass filters exhibit high transmission efficiency for shorter wavelengths and excellent rejection of longer wavelengths, ensuring high optical quality.

Versatility: Available in a wide range of cutoff wavelengths, materials, and coatings, shortpass filters can be tailored to specific application requirements.

Durability: Constructed from robust materials such as optical glass or quartz, shortpass filters are designed to withstand environmental conditions and maintain their performance over time.

Applications: Spectroscopy, Imaging, Laser Systems, Optical Sensors, Scientific Research, Industrial Applications, etc.

Shortpass Filters are optical components designed to transmit light of shorter wavelengths while blocking or significantly attenuating light of longer wavelengths. They are a type of cutoff filter, distinct from longpass filters that allow longer wavelengths to pass through. Shortpass filters utilize interference effects or absorption properties to selectively transmit specific wavelength ranges, making them essential tools in various scientific and industrial applications.
