Longpass Filters

Custom long wavelength transmission for spectral filtering

Introduction

Longpass filters are optical filters designed to transmit wavelengths above a specified cut-on wavelength while blocking shorter wavelengths. By controlling the spectral transition between blocked and transmitted regions, these filters provide precise management of long-wavelength optical signals.

The performance of longpass filters is determined by key spectral characteristics such as cut-on wavelength, transition region, and out-of-band blocking. By optimizing these parameters, longpass filters can provide reliable wavelength separation for optical systems requiring precise control of transmitted and rejected light.
