Absorptive filters have a coating of different organic and inorganic materials that absorb certain wavelengths of light, thus allowing the desired wavelengths to pass through. Since they absorb light energy, the temperature of these filters increases during operation.

They are simple filters and can be added to plastics to make less costly filters than their glass-based counterparts. The operation of these filters does not depend on the angle of the incident light but on the properties of the material that makes up the filters. As a result, they are good filters to use when reflected light of the unwanted wavelength can cause noise in optical signal.

Introduction to Optical Filters

What are optical filters?

Optical filters are devices that selectively transmit, reflect, or block light of different wavelengths. Researchers use them in a wide variety of applications, including fluorescence microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and medical imaging. Typically, optical filters are made of glass or plastic, and they can be coated with a variety of materials to achieve the desired filtering effect.

Types of Optical Filters

While many filter types exist, including widely used, off-the-shelf varieties and custom optical filters designed for specific applications, each filter offers unique properties to exert precise control over the light passing through it. Some of the most common types include:

Optical filters are an essential part of optical systems used in many different fields. They are key components that enable doctors, scientists, and engineers to study the world around them in more detail and to create devices that can help study and diagnose diseases.
