Color glass filters provide an economical way of filtering light for use in various applications.
Color glass is melted using many colorants with different concentrations to achieve selective absorption in the visible light range. There are several types of optical filters:
Longpass – transmits only long wavelengths
Shortpass – transmits only short wavelengths
Bandpass – transmits a band of wavelengths, absorbing both longer and shorter wavelengths
Altechna offers a wide variety of color glass filters, including Schott and Hoya materials, and their equivalents. Custom shapes and dimensions are available on request – contact us for more information.
