Dichroic Filter
Dichroic filters are highly precise optical components designed to selectively transmit specific wavelengths of light while reflecting others within a narrow range. Unlike dichroic mirrors, which are characterized by the color of light they reflect, dichroic filters focus on the color of light they allow to pass through. These filters remove unwanted wavelengths from white light sources to produce light that appears highly saturated to the human eye. Dichroic mirrors, often referred to as cold mirrors, are commonly used behind light sources to reflect visible light forward while allowing infrared light to pass through the back of the fixture. This design achieves bright illumination while reducing heat, making them ideal for applications such as quartz halogen lamps, slide projectors, and modern indoor lighting. However, their use in enclosed fixtures can pose fire hazards due to infrared radiation, requiring alternative non-cool beam lamps for such scenarios. Dichroic filters operate on the principle of thin-film interference, akin to the colored patterns seen in oil films on water. By layering alternating optical coatings with different refractive indices on a glass substrate, these filters create phase reflections that selectively enhance certain wavelengths while attenuating others. This ensures precise wavelength selection without energy absorption, maintaining high efficiency in the desired passband. Specifications of Dichroic Filter Optical Coating: Multi-layer dielectric coatings with precise thickness control for wavelength selectivity. Material: High-quality optical glass substrates for durability and optical clarity. Efficiency: Unwanted wavelengths are reflected rather than absorbed, ensuring high transmission efficiency in the passband. Customization: Adjustable layer thickness and number to tailor passband width and spectral properties to specific applications.

Longpass filter Optical Filters Uni-lens
Filter Type [LP Series]: Optical interference or colored-glass filter
Long-pass filters serve gas monitoring, temperature sensing, other sensing, thermal imaging, and motion detection. They block shorter wavelengths and transmit longer wavelengths. Blocking can result from reflection, absorption, or both. An antireflection coating on the second surface can improve passband transmission.

Electro-optic deflectors (EODs) are optical devices used to steer or deflect light beams by applying an electric field to a specialized optical crystal. Unlike mechanical beam steering systems that rely on moving mirrors, electro-optic deflectors enable high-speed, non-mechanical beam control with exceptional precision and responsiveness. They are widely used in laser scanning, optical communications, microscopy, laser printing, spectroscopy, and scientific research, where rapid and accurate laser beam positioning is essential.
