Notch Filters

Notch Filters: blocking OD4 - OD6 at 488/532/632.8/1064 nm. No MOQ, prototypes in 5-10 days, DFM review with every RFQ.

Notch Filters

Notch Filters – blocking OD4 – OD6 at 488/532/632.8/1064 nm. No minimum order; DFM review included with every RFQ.

Selecting notch filters starts from the detector, not the glass: remove one laser line from a broadband path. The manufacturable window here is blocking OD4 – OD6 at 488/532/632.8/1064 nm.

Design guidance

Three items decide most of the cost and lead time on this work:

  • Over-specification is the quiet budget killer: a 20/10 scratch-dig face costs roughly three times an 80/50 face, so grade each surface individually.

The full rules live in our tolerance design guide and holes and edges design guide.

Typical applications

Orders for notch filters cluster in optical sensors (sensor windows, filter caps, lens covers); laboratory instruments (cuvettes, sight glasses, stir-cell windows); semiconductor equipment (view ports, wafer carriers, plasma rings, chamber windows).

Frequently asked questions

What files do you need for a quote?

A dimensioned PDF plus DXF or STEP geometry. If only a sketch exists, our drawing review service formalizes it before quoting.

Do parts ship with inspection data?

Dimensional reports, surface certificates and material certs per melt are available; specify the level on the RFQ.

Is there a minimum order for notch filters?

No. Single prototypes are accepted, and pricing steps down at 10, 100 and 1,000 pieces.

How fast can prototypes ship?

Machined prototypes ship in 5 – 10 working days. Coated or bonded parts add 1 – 2 weeks depending on queue slots.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Which filter types can I configure?

Longpass, shortpass, bandpass, notch, dichroic, neutral density and color filters. You set the relevant cut-on/cut-off or center wavelength, bandwidth and blocking, plus substrate and size.

How is a bandpass filter specified?

By center wavelength (CWL), full width at half maximum (FWHM), peak transmission and out-of-band blocking (e.g. OD4-OD6). The builder captures these as the spectral requirements for the quote.
