Narrow Bandpass Filter
In the realm of precision optics, Avantier stands out as a premier manufacturer of Narrow Bandpass Filters. Leveraging state-of-the-art plasma deposition technology, Avantier produces these filters with exacting precision and durability. These filters are designed to isolate an exceptionally narrow wavelength range while maintaining stringent specifications such as low Full-Width Half-Max (FWHM) and deep blocking. They find applications in diverse fields, from laser technology to molecular biology. Avantier offers a wide range of custom options, backed by over fifty years of optical expertise.
Narrow Bandpass Filters
Purpose of Ultra Narrow Bandpass Filters: Ultra narrow bandpass filters are designed to isolate a very narrow region of wavelengths while rejecting all other wavelengths of light.
Manufacturing Technology: Avantier uses state-of-the-art plasma deposition technology to manufacture these filters, resulting in precise and durable thin-film filters.
Narrow Bandpass Filter Specifications
- Center Wavelength (CWL): The CWL is the midpoint of the passband and the location of peak transmission.
- Full-Width Half-Max (FWHM): The FWHM indicates the width of the passband at half of the maximum transmission. For narrow bandpass filters, the FWHM is less than 6% of the central wavelength.
- Pass Band Ripple: Some filters have a flat top passband, and the flatness is described by the pass band ripple. Low pass band ripple is desirable, especially in LiDAR applications to prevent spectral drift due to temperature cycling.
- Blocking: Blocking in the rejection region is described by the optical density (OD), with deep blocking having an OD of 6.
Applications
- Ultra narrow band filters are used in various sophisticated imaging setups and experiments.
- Applications include laser cleanup, laser line filters, laser excitation filters, flow cytometry, DNA sequencing, PCR diagnostics, fluorescence microscopy, LiDAR, and Raman spectroscopy.
- They play a crucial role in reducing spectral cross-talk in cytometry and fluorescence in-situ hybridization.
