Manufacturer: Vortex

Product information "Visible Filters"

Together with our supplier Vortex, we are able to design and manufacture custom visible filters with short lead-times for many applications. All Vortex filters are sputtered, meaning they are highly durable. We can provide all common types of filter, like Long Wave Pass (LWP), Short Wave Pass (SWP), Wide Band Pass (WBP) and Narrow Band Pass (NBP).

Some Examples:

Visible Long Wave Pass Filter for blocking lower visible wavelengths (e.g. below 530 nm). Applications include fluorescence, medical systems, order sorting in spectrometers and scientific instruments.
Visible Short Wave Pass Filter for blocking longer wavelengths (e.g. above 730 nm) and transmitting short wavebands. Applications include thermal management (Hot Mirrors) in systems and shortening the ranges of sensitivity of detectors.
Visible Wide Band Pass Filter used to block a higher and lower wave band and allow a band (e.g. 550 nm to 600 nm) to transmit. A typical application is to isolate a working band in visible systems using Silicon photodiode detectors or visible cameras.
Visible Narrow Band Pass Filter typically used to isolate a narrow wavelength range (e.g. around 530 nm) for use in scientific analysis or LED tidying.
Steep Edge 45 Deg LWP Filter for separation of colors at 45° angle of incidence – for example blue reflected, orange/red transmitted.
Extended Hot Mirror for 45 Deg Angle of Incidence – a type of SWP filter can be used for an application, where the requirement is to reflect the heat of the near infra-red and allow some visible transmission.

We are happy to provide a unique visible filter – designed, specified and manufactured to your application’s requirements. Contact the AMS Technologies filter experts today to discuss your customized visible filter solution!

Manufacturer "Vortex"

Located in the middle of the UK, Vortex was founded in 2008 by a team of optical coating experts with many years of experience in the photonics industry. Vortex designs and manufactures infrared filters and coatings, visible filters, anti-reflection coatings, infrared linear variable filters (LVF), beamsplitters, and dichroics with outstanding speed and quality. While traditionally thermal evaporation has been used for IR filters, Vortex’s IR filters are deposited by sputtering, using the company’s own “Rockard”© technology, and thus ensuring highly durable coatings suitable for the toughest environments, extremely low temperature shift, reduced passband ripple and high blocking efficiency to increase signal-to-noise ratio. Vortex offers the complete value chain from coating services (coating customers’ components with ultra-short response times) to supplying also the substrates, thus providing full manufacture of optics, all the way to delivering custom filters and windows in OEM/production volumes – on time for production programs where quality, price, consistency and on-time delivery are key.

Optical Filters for Fluorescence Microscopy

Fluorescence microscopy requires optical filters that have demanding spectral and physical characteristics. These performance requirements can vary greatly depending on the specific type of microscope and the specific application. Although they are relatively minor components of a complete microscope system, optimally designed filters can produce quite dramatic benefits. Chroma Technology specializes in the design and manufacture of optical filters and coatings for applications that require extreme precision in color separation, optical quality, and signal purity – applications like low-light-level fluorescence microscopy. Chroma Technology’s portfolio comprises single bandpass and single edge filters, multi bandpass and multi band dichroic beamsplitters, complete filter sets for single band, longpass, shortpass and multi band as well as filter accessories. The primary goal of filter design for fluorescence microscopy is to create filter sets that maximize image contrast and maintain image quality. The downloadable “handbook of optical filters for fluorescence microscopy” shows how fluorescence filters play a role in the growing number of applications that are taking advantage of new technologies, such as lasers for both illumination and sample manipulation, digital image processing, computer-assisted positioning and controls, and ultra-sensitive detection devices.
