Request InfoEdmund Optics Inc.Edmund Optics Inc. has released narrow-laser-line interference filters and broadband diode interference filters. The narrow filters feature a bandwidth of 1 nm and are suitable for systems that require a narrow bandpass. Each is mounted in a 12.7- or 24.5-mm-diameter metal ring and is designed for ease of integration using the company’s C-mount optic mounts. The narrow filters are available for 488-, 532-, 632.8- and 1064-nm wavelengths. Suitable for use with near-IR laser diodes, the broadband filters eliminate noise in the laser diode itself and are mounted in a 12.7- or 25.4-mm-diameter...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics.com 7/26/2022Optical MountsThe E-Series of Adjustable Size Kinematic Optical Mounts from Edmund Optics Inc. can be used for mounting a wide range of round, rectangular, and square optical components, including round and...Photonics Spectra February 2023 IssueMounted Color FiltersMounted Machine Vision Filters from Edmund Optics Inc. are color filters optimized for use with popular LEDs with ≥85% transmission and blocking capabilities.
