Match the full source band.
Compare the source emission spectrum with the filter curve. Include the source bandwidth, rather than relying on the nominal wavelength alone.

Nearest measured point shown; no interpolation or extrapolation. Original sample values are preserved, including values outside 0–100%. Samples are selection references, not production acceptance limits.
OPTICAL PERFORMANCE · BBP-470A
OPERATING CONDITIONS
Compare the source emission spectrum with the filter curve. Include the source bandwidth, rather than relying on the nominal wavelength alone.
This sample also transmits near-infrared light. If your detector responds there, assess that contribution and discuss any additional blocking needed.
Specify the working angle and whether the beam is collimated or converging. Confirm the required response under those conditions.
Provide the available mounting space, required shape, dimensions and thickness. Physical specifications will be confirmed for your assembly.
APPLICATIONS
A starting design for inspection systems using a source around 488 nm.
A candidate for selecting a blue signal channel in a source-and-detector system.
A profile to evaluate for fluorescence excitation or collection channels.
Application examples are starting points for evaluation; suitability depends on the complete optical system.
CUSTOM & ENQUIRY
Start with BBP-470A and discuss the spectral response, physical format and operating conditions.
