Shortpass Filter
Short-pass filters transmit shorter wavelengths and block longer wavelengths. Also described as attenuators, they protect camera sensors/optics from intense sources by absorbing or reflecting untransmitted light and reducing part of the transmission spectrum. The source states that they mainly transmit visible and UV while also shielding UV, and sometimes specifically block IR and longer wavelengths as IR-cut filters; it distinguishes short-pass from IR-cut filters.

Applications
Optical beauty equipment: selected bands within an instrument's treatment range support particular functions in home devices. Fluorescence analysis: selects and limits emission wavelengths in combination with excitation filters. Raman spectroscopy: shortpass filters separate excitation and scattered light to improve signal-to-noise ratio. Spectral grouping: separates wavelengths into groups for analysis or processing. Imaging optics: removes out-of-band interference to improve clarity and sensitivity. Machine vision: improves brightness contrast and resolving power for clearer features. Fiber illumination: adjusts the wavelength range for specific lighting effects. Surveillance cameras: common IR-CUT dual filters combine full-spectrum and infrared-cut filters to suppress IR interference with CCD or CMOS color reproduction and restore true colors.
