Shortpass Optical Filters

Shortpass Optical Filters: cut-off 400 - 1200 nm, OD4 rejection band. No MOQ, prototypes in 5-10 days, DFM review with every RFQ.

Shortpass Optical Filters

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

RFQ inputs PDF/DXF/STEP drawing, quantity brackets, surface and edge spec

DFM notes from the shop floor

The shop-floor rules that matter here:

  • 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.

Where these parts end up

shortpass optical filters shows up across laser systems (windows, beam splitters, debris shields); oled packaging (cover lids, frit-seal frames, fill-port plates); aerospace optics (sensor windows, star-tracker flats, radiation-tolerant ports).

Common questions

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.

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.

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.
