Collection: Shortpass Filter
A shortpass filter is a type of optical filter that transmits light with wavelengths shorter than a certain cut-off wavelength, and blocks or reflects light with longer wavelengths. It is also known as a low-pass filter or an edge filter.

Cutoff Wavelength (Cutoff)
The cutoff wavelength for a shortpass filter is the wavelength at which the filter's transmission drops to 50% of its peak value.
In simpler terms, it's the point where the filter starts to block longer wavelengths while allowing shorter wavelengths to pass through.

Optical Density(OD)
Optical Density (OD) is a measure of how much light is absorbed by a material. It's a logarithmic scale, meaning that each increase of 1 in OD corresponds to a 10-fold decrease in light transmission.
- OD1 - 10%
- OD2 - 1%
- OD3 - 0.01%
- OD4 - 0.01%
- OD5 - 0.001%
- OD6 - 0.0001%
