What is typical application for 515nm Bandpass Filters?
A 515nm bandpass filter is an optical device designed to transmit light centered at a wavelength of 515 nanometers while blocking light at all other wavelengths.
Typically, applications for 515nm bandpass filters center on isolating green fluorescence signals, particularly in fluorescence microscopy for imaging green fluorescent proteins and in Flow cytometry for cell sorting. Additionally, they are also widely used in machine vision for enhancing green object contrast, in laser line cleanup for 515nm green lasers, and in environmental sensing for chlorophyll fluorescence measurements in plant health monitoring.
What are key parameters when choose for a suitable Bandpass Filter?
When selecting a Narrow Bandpass Filter, normally the following factors need to be taken into consideration：
- Central Wavelength (CWL)：CWL is one of key parameter to designate first, it refer to the central wavelength at stable high transmission rate passband.
- Peak or Average Transmittance: typically ≥90%, Higher transmittance might need Anti-reflective(AR) coating.
- Full width at half maximum (FWHM): FWHM refer to the interval between the two wavelength points where the transmittance rate reaches 50%.
- Blocking rate: usually 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 considered 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 vacuum 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. The company have been focus on optical coating for more than 17 years ,and the company offer one-stop optical filters solution including Narrow Bandpass Filters, IR cut-off Filters, Longpass Filters, Shortpass Filters, Notch Filters, ND filters, Star filters and Optical sapphire block.
Remark：Because the interference type filter varies its performance at different angles, the spectral parameters usually determine its appearance color; moreover, the pictures in this link may originate from various shooting angles, so the actual color should therefore rely on the final spectral parameters required as the standard.
