A 430nm longpass filter is an optical component that allows visible light with wavelengths longer than 430nm to pass through, while blocking or cutting off ultraviolet light and violet light below 430nm. 430nm longpass filters are widely used in fluorescence microscopy, biochemical analysis, UV curing monitoring, stage lighting, color sensing, and biomedical detection, such as flow cytometry and PCR. Their primary function is to reject ultraviolet and violet radiation while allowing visible light above 430nm to pass through.
4.What is key parameter when choose for right Longpass Filter?
When selecting a Longpass Filter, normally the following factors need to be taken into consideration：
- Cut-Off Wavelength: it is one of the most important parameters, typically defined as the wavelength transmittance at 50% .
- Average or Peak transmittance: usually average transmittance ≥90%, higher transmittance e.g. 92% or 95% on average or specific single point need to definite and communicate with manufacturer, higher transmittance need to additional AR coating.
- Blocking rate: usually expressed in terms of optical density(OD), OD2-OD3 for standard and higher will be OD4-OD6 per requirement
- Angle of Incidence (AOI): AOI need to be consider as Interference Filter is angle sensitive, 0° AOI by default, other AOI e.g. 30/45° need to be specified.
- Physical and environmental requirement: Substrate type, dimensions and thickness, surface quality, and environmental durability.
Shenzhen Hengda Liyuan Optoelectronics introduced advanced optical technology that apply depositing nano materials through ion-assisted evaporation onto a multilayer hard film in a high vacuum environment which coating layer is firm and has good tightness, and small bandwidth drift. Liyuan optoelectronics have been focus on optical coating for more than 17 years and offer one-stop optical filters solution including Narrow Bandpass Filters, IR cut-off Filters, Longpass & Short Filters, Notch Filters, ND filters, Star filters and Optical sapphire block.
