The main high-transmission region is approximately 430-685 nm. It can be considered when visible light is required and part of the longer-wavelength spectrum needs attenuation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOptical performance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasured wavelength range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 300-1500 nm.
