Shortpass Filters

  • Broad Transmission and Rejection Ranges
  • Sharp Slope for Effective Spectral Discrimination
  • Combine with Longpass Filter for Custom Bandpass Ranges

Shortpass filters are optical filters that allow short-wavelength light to pass while blocking longer wavelengths. They are commonly used in fluorescence imaging, machine vision, and other optical applications. Made from high-quality optical materials, these filters provide precise wavelength control and high transmission. Custom sizes and coatings are available to meet specific requirements.
