Results for tag: "Optical Filter"

Optical filters are components used in electrical engineering to selectively transmit or reject certain wavelengths of light. They are used in a variety of applications, such as optical communication systems, optical sensing, and optical imaging. Optical filters are typically made from materials such as glass, plastic, or polymers, and can be designed to pass or block specific wavelengths of light. They can also be designed to pass or block certain angles of light, or to pass or block certain polarizations of light. Optical filters are used in a variety of applications, such as optical communication systems, optical sensing, and optical imaging. In optical communication systems, optical filters are used to separate different wavelengths of light, allowing for the transmission of multiple signals over the same fiber. In optical sensing, optical filters are used to detect specific wavelengths of light, allowing for the detection of specific substances or materials. In optical imaging, optical filters are used to enhance the contrast of images, allowing for the detection of subtle features. Some companies in the optical filter market include Thorlabs, Edmund Optics, Newport Corporation, and Chroma Technology. Show Less Read more
