By deploying high-quality Bandpass Filters, you can pass a certain range of frequencies and frequencies out of the range will be rejected. You should understand that Bandpass filter should be distinguished from passband. In the case of passband, it reflects the actual portion of affected spectrum. There will a band of frequencies which are not adjacent to zero frequency in a bandpass signal. Thus, an entirely flat passband is the ideal bandpass filter. There will be brickwall characteristics during the transition out of passband filter. Practically no bandpass filter is ideal. If there is attenuation of a frequency outside the range, they will not be rejected. Bandpass filters are widely used in wireless communication. When it is installed in a transmitter, the bandwidth of the output signal will be limited. On the other hand, Notch Filters are also called as band-stop filters as there will be narrow stopband. You can find high Q factor as well. In case of band-rejection filter, most frequencies will be unaltered. However, those frequencies which are in low range will be attenuated. You can find the application of notch filters in public address systems, instrument amplifiers, and Raman Spectroscopy. These filters are used in the radio-frequency domain as well. Some of the applications include non-linearities of power amplifiers, and wave trap. By deploying a high quality notch filter, interfering frequency can be removed in a very efficient way. The advantage with Ultra Narrow Bandpass is that there will be large format and improved temperature stability. The envelope of performance will be pushed with highly sophisticated monitor and deposition methods. There will be improved transmission with ultra-narrowband hard coated optical filters. Out of band blocking is achieved in a very efficient way. These filters are used in optical systems such as LIDAR (light detection and ranging), laser cleanup, chemical & gas sensing. You will find some of these filters in cutting-edge astronomy and instrumentation applications.
Alluxa has developed novel deposition techniques so that it can accommodate large format requirements in a very efficient way. The filter will be measured constantly at single wavelength and errors that occurred in earlier layers will be compensated in a very efficient way.
There is a variety of Soft Coating Replacement with Alluxa. These are durable filters which are meant to replace laminated filters. There will be increased performance and durability when you go for soft coated filters. You can manage soft coating replacement filters with centre wavelengths in visible spectrum whose bandwidth is between 10 nm and 50 nm. There will be greater than 90% transmission OD4 blocking at prices that are comparable to laminated filters.
You can take advantage of great quality and consistency when you go through thin-film coating process. They are hard coated with plasma deposition process on the equipment designed by Alluxa. There are certain benefits associated with upgrading to hard-coated filters. You should go through the comprehensive information provided on the website and the whitepaper so that informed decision can be taken without any issues.
