Features

Thin dielectric films with different refractive indices are coated in multiple layers, and light interference is used to allow the selection of transmission or reflection of light from a light source at the desired wavelengths.

The number of layers of thin dielectric film coated can be from a few to several hundred, which allows various characteristics to be realized.
The shape of the substrate to be coated can be anything from flat to a parabolic mirror.

Applications

Lamp reflectors.
This mirror can be applied to various fields, including laser processing machines.

Example characteristics

Reflecting a reference light wavelength of 950 nm, it can allow high transmittance of a dominant laser light source wavelength of 1,064 nm.
This is a short-pass dichroic mirror not affected by the P- and S-polarized light from a light source.
It is characterized by enabling high reflection of P-polarized light in the reflection band and high transmittance of S-polarized light in the transmission band.
This is an example of allowing total transmission of a dominant laser light source wavelength of 1,064 nm and total reflection of higher harmonics.
It demonstrates its effects in the effective use of laser light source wavelength.

Features

A notch filter removes only specific wavelengths and transmits light of other wavelengths.
Wavelengths blocked by the notch filter can be set at will from a single wavelength to multiple wavelengths, and the wavelength range of ultraviolet, visible or infrared is not selected.

Advanced film design using multilayer dielectric film allows steep slopes to be realized to block specific wavelengths.

Notch filters, also known as band-stop filters, provide the opposite characteristics of band-pass filters, which transmit only specific wavelengths.

Applications

Laser light sources, laser Raman measurement, medical treatment, various analysis, etc.

Example of spectrum

A notch filter with a blocking performance of OD6 or higher at a specific wavelength (532 nm).
Notch filter with blocking performance of OD4 or higher at two specific wavelengths (550nm, 625nm).
