Products: Broadband UV-NIR Neutral Density Filters

Our broadband UV-NIR neutral density filters deliver constant transmission from 190 nm to 1700 nm, consistent attenuation from the UV to the NIR, and superior optical performance and wavefront quality. These ND filters, which are perfect for use with broadband sources like xenon, deuterium, and tungsten halogen, are often utilized in precision optical systems, spectrometers, and medical systems. Other manufacturers of similar products cannot match the unique broadband performance of these UV-NIR neutral density filters. By employing patented UV coating processes, we are able to offer broadband neutral density performance down to 190 nm. Our exclusive filter coatings can be deposited on custom-sized substrates for OEM applications and can also be designed for other optical density values, if required.
