Frequency band-pass filters are designed for spectral selection of incident radiation. Such filters in the band-pass mode pass waves in the surroundings of the set frequency with the transmission coefficient close to 1 and fully reflect or disperse the radiation outside the pass band.
Electrodynamic optimization and the unique structure of the designed band-pass filters provide the high contrast of the frequency filtration with the low level of parasitic high-frequency harmonics leak. To maximise the radiation blocking outside the required selection band it is possible to use two filters successively; meanwhile the transmission value in the selection band area decreases insignificantly.
In addition to band-pass filters for a fixed wavelength it is possible to design and produce filters for selection of several wavelengths spaced apart in the spectrum as well as band-stop filters. The latter provide deep suppresion of radiation at the set frequency (as the result of reflection resonance) at a high level of side frequency transmission.
All optical elements are produced on the basis of multi-layered frequency-selective surfaces - thin planar metal-coated microstructures with cells of special geometric shape, the topology of which defines the frequency properties of the element.
Frequency-selective surfaces are resonant electrodynamic structures operated in the mode, in which the resonance frequency is below the point of excitation of high-order diffraction harmonics.This approach allows to create optical elements with unique properties unachievable or hard-hitting within the frames of traditional optics. We can produce filters with properties required for solution of our client specific task. Filter properties can be optimised for use in various applications including space studies and studies in cryogenic conditions.
A black aluminium casing with protective coating is supplied together with the filter.
