Schroder - Optical Colour Filters
Optical colour filters are made of coloured glass and are essential components for the transmission or blocking of certain spectral ranges. Glass filters are suitable as substrates for thin-film coating, e.g. in the production of interference filters. To achieve the best-possible filter solution and enhance the effect, different glass filters are often also combined.
