Inside Filters

From Edmund Optics Inc.
 

 

Filters can be used to attenuate light either evenly across a certain portion of the spectrum (neutral density, polarizing, retarders, etc.) or unevenly (ie. Interference, dichroic, color). Typical applications for filters involve improving contrast or signal-to-noise ratio (imaging and non-imaging), isolating particular wavelengths (analytical chemistry and spectroscopy), and improving lens performance (usually imaging).
