What is Optical Filter?

An optical filter is a vital component in optics, designed to precisely select the desired radiation band. However, it’s essential to note that no optical filter can enhance the brightness of an object. This is due to the inherent nature of filters, as they absorb specific wavelengths, resulting in a darkening effect on the object being observed. As a result, the role of optical filters lies in precisely controlling and manipulating light to achieve specific outcomes in various applications.

Different Types of Optical Filters by Noni

As one of the leading optical filter manufacturers, Noni Optics takes pride in presenting clients with an extensive selection of over 200 options across six distinct types of optical filters. Our commitment to excellence extends to providing top-notch custom optical filter solutions tailored to meet the specific needs of our customers.

custom optical filters_Bandpass FiltersBandpass Filters >

Bandpass filters are used to selectively transmit a portion of the light spectrum while blocking all other wavelengths of light. Therefore, bandpass filters play an important role in many fields such as life sciences, medicine, materials research, and environmental monitoring. These filters have a wide range of applications and provide important functional support for optical systems in different fields. Noni Optics provides a variety of optical filters, including more than 140 kinds of bandpass filters, to meet different application needs and system requirements, and you can choose and customize them accordingly.

Dichroic Filters >

A dichroic filter is an optical filter coated with a thin-film dielectric coating that selectively transmits wavelengths within a specified transmission band and reflects all other wavelengths. Dichroic filters typically operate at a 45° angle of incidence, which reflects rejected light at 90° to transmitted light, allowing selective transmission of specific wavelengths. This makes them useful in applications such as fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry, where they can selectively transmit specific fluorescent signals to detectors, allowing precise imaging and analysis of samples.

Notch Filters >

Based on the interference effect of light waves, through precise coating design and optical calculations, notch filters can achieve selective blocking of specific wavelengths or narrow bands while maintaining transmission of other wavelengths. This makes notch filters an important tool for precise spectral selection and signal denoising in optical systems, and plays an important role in laser spectroscopy, microscope imaging, and other life science research. Noni Optics offers a wide range of optical filters, including a range of notch filters.

custom optical filters_Multi-Band Pass FilterMulti-Band Pass Filters >

A multicolor bandpass filter is an optical filter that has multiple bandpass regions that selectively transmit multiple different wavelength ranges while blocking other wavelengths of light. These filters are useful in spectral selection and optical analysis applications, allowing simultaneous observation and analysis of multiple optical signals of different wavelengths. It can be used in many fields such as spectral selection, multispectral imaging, fluorescence microscopy, analytical instruments, optical communication and biomedicine.

custom optical filters_Longpass FiltersLongpass Filters >

A longpass filter is an optical filter whose function is to selectively pass wavelengths greater than the cutoff wavelength of the filter while blocking wavelengths smaller than the cutoff wavelength. They can be used to isolate spectral portions in various industrial or life science applications, including microscopy or fluorescence instrumentation, among others. Noni Optics offers a wide range of longpass edge filters that operate at UV, visible or IR wavelengths. Longpass filters are available in a variety of optical densities. Higher optical density provides higher blocking power.

custom optical filters_Shortpass FiltersShortpass Filters >

The purpose of a short-pass filter is to selectively pass wavelengths shorter than the filter cutoff wavelength while blocking regions of shorter wavelengths (higher energy) than the blocking band. Short-pass filters are widely used in life sciences and can provide highly selective and precise wavelength transmission, providing important optical support for fluorescence microscopy and other biological imaging and analysis techniques. We offer both Shortpass filters designed for a 0° angle of incidence,and shortpass dichroic filters for a 45° angle of incidence.

FAQ, Your Handy Product Guide

Some important information you might want to know.

  • Do you offer standard optic components (Shelf Products) ?
    No, we don’t sell shelf products. We offer customization service according to your requirements for specific projects or brands equivalent.
  • What substrates do you use for custom optical components?
    Our most frequently used substrates are Zinc Selenide (ZnSe), Zinc Sulfide (ZnS), Silicon, Germanium (Ge), Copper, Aluminum, Mo, PMMA, Chalcogenide Glasses, etc.
  • Can you help to customize according to samples we offered?
    We highly recommend producing according to specific drawings. Since there are lots of indexes which can not be obtained by measuring samples, such as requirements of material.
  • What's your MOQ for customized projects?
    We set very low MOQ for customization projects. But of course, price will be quoted according to the quantity to cover our production cost.
  • How to protect my personal information and our technical information?
    Don’t worry, we will sign the NDA with all our customers if needed.
  • What shipping methods are available?
    We commonly use UPS, FedEx, DHL, TNT, SF, EMS etc. We also accept your own appointed forwarder.
  • What's the lead time for sampling, for mass production?
    For customization projects, sampling lead time will be 1 to 2 weeks. For mass production, 1 to 2 months for orders with quantity 1000 to 2000 pieces.
  • Can you offer all the Certificates required by our customs and our company?
    Every product that leaves the factory has been carefully tested. We would like to offer you all the certificates required by your side. Such as:
    • Raw material certificate and technical drawing
    • RoHS Report of substrate
    • Inspection report (data) of 3D optical profiler, surface flatness etc.
