Collection: Narrow Bandpass Filter (FWHM ≤ 5nm)
Narrow bandpass filters with a full-width half-maximum (FWHM) of 5nm or less are specialized optical components that allow the transmission of light within a very narrow range of wavelengths while blocking all others.

Applications of Narrow Bandpass Filter
Laser Clean-up
Narrow bandpass filters are often used to "clean up" laser output by removing unwanted spectral components. They can effectively filter out amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) and other noise, resulting in a more spectrally pure laser beam. This is particularly important in applications requiring high spectral purity, such as certain types of spectroscopy or interferometry.
High-resolution Spectroscopy
Narrow bandpass filters are essential in high-resolution spectroscopic techniques. They allow for the isolation of specific spectral lines or bands, which is crucial for identifying and analyzing chemical compounds
Chemical Detection and Analysis
These filters can be used to isolate characteristic emission or absorption lines of specific chemicals. This makes them valuable in applications such as environmental monitoring, industrial process control, and forensic analysis -
Why you need a narrow bandpass filter?
Improved Signal-to-Noise Ratio: By allowing only a narrow range of wavelengths to pass through, these filters reduce interference from other light sources or background noise, which is essential in sensitive applications like spectroscopy and laser communication
Precision in Wavelength Isolation: In applications like LIDAR or fluorescence microscopy, precise wavelength isolation ensures that only the desired signal is detected while eliminating cross-talk or spectral overlap from other sources
