Optical filters selectively pass or block certain wavelengths of light and are critical for optical applications ranging from fluorescence microscopy, to flow cytometry, to spectroscopy. Edmund Optics® designs and manufactures sputtered thin-film interference filters in our Akita, Japan Factory.
Follow along as we go through a day in the life of an optical filter, moving through coating, processing, and metrology.
We make a wide range of optical filter types including bandpass, notch, longpass, shortpass, dichroic, and multibandpass. Our engineers can design and manufacture build-to-print or fully custom solutions for your optical application.
