Color Glass Filters for Intense Pulsed Light

25/10/2017

 Knight Optical can offer you Stock and Custom Colour Glass Filters, for use within IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) in a range of materials of brands such as Schott, Kopp and CDGM.

Colour Glass Filters are good for selecting a particular wavelength to be absorbed so that the high out of band blocking in achieved. With regards to the use in IPL typical wavelengths used are within the Visible and NIR Wavelengths.  This is so the excess light is filtered out and the desired wavelength is transmitted. Typical filters for IPL and the Schott catalogue are:

  • OG515 – 515nm
  • OG550 – 550nm
  • OG590 – 590nm
  • RG610 – 610nm

Colour Glass Filters are polished sheets of special glass that have been cast with a dye. Colour Glass Filters generally are relatively cheap and very stable. The disadvantage with them is that they are only available in a relatively small number of variants, and so can be restrictive in shortwave selection. 

This stock range of colour glass filters range from 25mmdia to 50x50mm square. All the filter types are available in a custom size and thickness to ensure it meets the needs of your application.
