Shortpass Optical Filters – cut-off 400 – 1200 nm, OD4 rejection band. No minimum order; DFM review included with every RFQ.
We supply shortpass optical filters to cut-off 400 – 1200 nm, OD4 rejection band – and because we are a machining house first, non-standard outlines, notches and mounting holes are part of the normal order, not an exception.
Specification envelope
| Optical specification | cut-off 400 – 1200 nm, OD4 rejection band |
|---|---|
| RFQ inputs | PDF/DXF/STEP drawing, quantity brackets, surface and edge spec |
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.
Who orders this
Orders for shortpass optical filters cluster in laser systems (windows, beam splitters, debris shields); scientific instruments (reference flats, cells, prism mounts, stage inserts); machine vision (camera windows, ring-light diffusers, calibration plates).
The fastest route to a quote is geometry: use the 3D builder below, draw a dimensioned 2D drawing from it, or open the site-wide custom glass machining 3D + 2D builder for fully custom parts.
Engineers scoping this work usually also review ultra-thin glass materials, glass wafer coring, edge grinding overview.
Common 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 shortpass optical 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.
