808nm Bandpass Filter

808nm light is a type of infrared radiation, invisible to the human eye. It's particularly interesting for its applications in various fields, including:

  • Laser Hair Removal: 808nm lasers are widely used for hair removal treatments. The pigment in hair follicles absorbs this wavelength, heating and destroying them.
  • Medical Therapy: It's used in certain medical procedures like photodynamic therapy (PDT) to treat conditions like cancer and acne.
  • Industrial Applications: 808nm lasers can be used for cutting, welding, and marking materials.
  • Remote Sensing: This wavelength is useful for remote sensing applications, such as measuring temperature and humidity.

Characteristics:

  • Wavelength: 808 nanometers (nm)
  • Type of Radiation: Infrared
  • Visibility: Invisible to humans
  • Absorption: Absorbed by melanin, the pigment in hair and skin.
  • Penetration Depth: Can penetrate the skin to a certain depth.
