INFORMATION

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • What type of optical filter glass do you sell from Schott and Hoya?

    We carry a comprehensive selection of optical filter glasses from renowned manufacturers Schott and Hoya. From Schott, our range includes their high-quality bandpass, longpass, shortpass, and neutral density filters, known for their precise light transmission and wavelength control. Similarly, from Hoya, we offer a variety of color filters, as well as specialty filters tailored for specific optical applications. Each brand is recognized for its exceptional quality and reliability, making our collection ideal for a wide range of professional and technical uses in optics.

  • Why Use Glass as a Color Filter?

    Glass color filters are highly favored in various applications due to their distinct advantages. First, glass filters offer superior durability and resistance to scratches, which is essential for long-term use and harsh environments. They also maintain consistent color transmission and stability over time, unaffected by changes in temperature or exposure to light, ensuring reliable performance. Additionally, glass filters can be precisely manufactured to achieve exact wavelength specifications, providing exceptional accuracy in color filtering. This precision makes them ideal for scientific, photographic, and industrial applications where exact color control is critical. Lastly, glass filters can be easily cleaned and handled without the risk of damage, unlike some plastic filters, adding to their practicality and longevity.

  • Do you custom manufacture optical filters in various sizes, shapes, and thicknesses?

    Yes, we proudly offer a full manufacturing facility equipped to custom manufacture, cut, and fabricate optical filters according to your specific needs. Our capabilities include creating filters in a wide range of sizes, shapes, and thicknesses, ensuring that we can meet your unique requirements. Whether you need a standard square filter, a circular one, or a more complex shape, our advanced equipment and skilled technicians are ready to deliver high-quality, precise products. Additionally, we can adjust the thickness of the filters to suit different applications, providing you with a tailor-made solution that perfectly fits your optical system. Our commitment to customization means you can rely on us for optical filters that are perfectly suited to your project’s requirements.

  • Do you have all these glass color filters in stock?

    Yes, we maintain a comprehensive inventory of almost all these filters in their raw form. This extensive stock ensures that we are well-equipped to promptly fabricate and customize filters according to your specific requirements. Our fabrication process is tailored to each order, which can take anywhere from 2 to 14 days, depending on the complexity and quantity of the order. This approach allows us to provide you with customized solutions while ensuring quick turnaround times. Our aim is to balance efficiency with precision, ensuring that each filter meets your exact specifications and is delivered in a timely manner.

  • What is a glass neutral density filter?

    A glass neutral density (ND) filter is a specialized optical filter designed to uniformly reduce the amount of light entering a lens without changing the color of the image. These filters are made of glass and are known for their precision and durability. They work by absorbing or reflecting a portion of the incoming light, allowing photographers and videographers to control the exposure in their images more effectively. This is particularly useful in bright conditions where controlling the amount of light is crucial to prevent overexposure. ND filters are also used to achieve a shallower depth of field or to create motion blur effects by allowing longer exposure times. They come in various densities, each reducing light transmission to a different degree, giving users the flexibility to adjust exposure according to their specific needs. Glass ND filters are preferred for their clarity, scratch resistance, and long-term stability compared to other materials.

  • What is a glass longpass filter?

    A glass longpass filter is a type of optical filter designed to transmit light wavelengths longer than a specific cutoff point while blocking shorter wavelengths. This “longpass” property makes these filters crucial in applications where it is necessary to isolate a specific range of the light spectrum. The cutoff point where the filter begins to transmit light is precisely defined, allowing for accurate selection of the desired wavelength range.

    These filters are made of glass, which offers several advantages. Glass longpass filters are known for their durability, resistance to scratching, and stability over time, even under varying environmental conditions. This makes them ideal for rigorous scientific, medical, and industrial applications where consistent performance is essential. The clarity of glass also ensures minimal distortion or degradation of the light passing through, which is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the filtered light in sensitive applications.

    In summary, glass longpass filters are essential tools in various fields for their ability to precisely control light transmission, offering durability and high optical quality.

  • What is a glass multi bandpass filter?

    A glass multi-bandpass filter is a sophisticated optical component designed to selectively transmit multiple specific wavelengths or bands of light while blocking others. Unlike single-bandpass filters, which allow only one narrow range of wavelengths to pass through, multi-bandpass filters are engineered to transmit two or more distinct wavelength ranges.

    These filters are made of glass, a material chosen for its excellent optical clarity, durability, and resistance to environmental factors like temperature changes and humidity. The use of glass also ensures minimal optical distortion and high transmission efficiency for the selected wavelengths.

    Glass multi bandpass filters are commonly used in complex optical systems, such as fluorescence microscopy, multispectral imaging, and certain types of analytical instrumentation. In these applications, the ability to simultaneously transmit multiple specific wavelengths is crucial for tasks like identifying, measuring, or imaging different materials or biological samples based on their unique spectral characteristics.

    Their precise fabrication allows for high-accuracy filtering, making them invaluable in scientific research, medical diagnostics, and advanced imaging technologies.

  • What is a broadband filter?

    A broadband filter is an optical device that transmits a broad range of light wavelengths, differentiating it from narrowband filters which allow only a slim wavelength range. These filters function by using specialized materials to selectively transmit certain wavelengths while blocking others, making them useful in various fields. In photography, they reduce glare and improve contrast; in astronomy, they enhance the visibility of celestial bodies by mitigating light pollution; and in scientific research, they are essential for certain spectroscopy and imaging applications. Broadband filters come in several types, including UV/IR cut filters and light pollution filters, each catering to specific needs. When choosing a broadband filter, it’s important to consider factors such as the desired wavelength range and the specific requirements of the project at hand. While generally improving image quality, it’s crucial to select high-quality filters to avoid image artifacts or color balance issues. Maintaining these filters involves careful handling, regular cleaning, and proper storage to ensure their longevity and effectiveness. The cost of broadband filters can vary significantly, with specialized filters typically being more expensive.
