Credit Card Order Filter Links 3rd Millennium Microscopy Astronomy Flow Cytometry Raman Colour Imaging Bandpass Long/Shortpass Rejection band Dichroic Neutral Density Laser Line Analytical Engineering Cleaning Filters In the fast growing category of applications and instrumentation which utilise laser sources—such as Raman Spectroscopy, Confocal and Multiphoton Microscopy, and Flow Cytometry—it is critical to eliminate all unwanted laser background, scatter, and plasma in order to optimise signal-to-noise. Laser line and shortpass edge filters can be used to “clean-up” the signal at the laser source. Longpass edge and laser rejection filters can be used for “rejecting” unwanted noise at the detector. A combination of laser filter solutions can provide performance superior to Holographic Notch filters at significantly less cost. Laser Line Interference Filters These filters pass a limited band centered on the resonance of the laser and attenuate the background plasma and secondary emissions that often result in erroneous signals. In the case of diode lasers, these filters can be used to make the light output more monochromatic. Laser line filters provide 70 - 90% throughput with spectral control from 0.85 10 1.15 of the CWL. An accessory blocker can be ordered to control a much wider spectral range from the deep UV to the IR. This additional blocker results in a minor (20%) loss of throughput Part Number Descriptor Laser Line Size (mm) Typical min T @ l* CWL Tol. FWHM Tol.
