Available Dimensions
Shortpass filters are dicing from a bigger coating wafer. The original wafer size is usually 60x60mm.
(We can provide you any size under 60x60mm) -

Transmission Characteristics
- Cut-off Wavelength: The wavelength at which the filter transitions from transmitting to blocking light.
- Transmission Band: Typically >90% transmission in the pass region.
- Edge Steepness: Indicates how quickly the filter transitions from transmission to blocking, usually expressed as a percentage or in nanometers.
Blocking Characteristics
- Optical Density (OD): Measures the blocking efficiency in the rejection region, typically OD > 5.
- Rejection Region: The range of wavelengths effectively blocked by the filter.
Physical Properties
- Diameter: dia12.5mm to dia60mm.
- Thickness: Usually around 3.5 mm for the mounted filter.
- Substrate Material: Often UV fused silica or optical quality glass.
Performance Metrics
- Transmitted Wavefront Error: Typically λ/4 at 632.8 nm.
- Surface Quality: 40-20 or 60-40 scratch-dig.
- Angle of Incidence: Usually designed for normal incidence (0° ± 2°).
Additional Features
- Durability: Often hard-coated for increased longevity and easier cleaning.
- Recommended Transmission Direction: Usually indicated by an arrow on the filter edge.
