Wavelength selection

Bandpass Filters

Keep the signal.
Choose the band.

Select the wavelength band your system needs, then compare how each filter transmits the useful signal and reduces unwanted wavelengths.

How to choose
within this family.

01

Start with your signal

Identify the full emission band of your light source and the wavelengths your detector needs. A nominal wavelength alone does not describe the complete signal.

02

Compare bandwidth and throughput

Compare the main-band width (FWHM), peak transmission and transmission across your useful band. FWHM describes the width at half the peak; it is not a guarantee of uniform transmission throughout that band.

03

Read beyond the main peak

Look for secondary transmission regions and compare them with your detector sensitivity. Check the measured wavelength range too: the curve does not establish performance outside it.
