Short Pass Filters

Typical short pass filter curve A Short Pass filter or Short Wave Pass filter (“SP”) is a filter that transmits at shorter wavelengths and rejects longer wavelengths. By design, the transition in a short pass filter between the 50% cut-off or cut-on to rejection is quite sharp. This makes it much easier to separate excitation from emitted wavelengths without interfering with wavelengths of interest. Short pass filters are useful in applications where spectral noise reduction is important or for isolating a particular region of the spectrum.

Applications include:

Emission filters in fluorescence applications
Elimination of unwanted radiation
In spectroscopy
As order sorting filters
In astronomical applications
In laser-induced fluorescence to isolate source radiation.

Features

A standard Short Pass filters available every 50 nm from 450 nm to 1000 nm
Mounted in a black anodized aluminium ring.
