New Semrock UV VersaChrome® Tunable Bandpass Filter


ROCHESTER, N.Y. - Semrock has expanded the lineup of its VersaChrome® tunable bandpass filter family to seven filters. The new TBP01-380/16-25x36 VersaChrome filter offers wavelength tunability over the near UV wavelengths by adjusting the angle of incidence with essentially no change in spectral performance. This new filter, along with the just added TBP01-800/12-25x36, expands VersaChrome coverage outside the visible spectrum to include near-IR and near-UV wavelengths.

All Semrock VersaChrome filters ensure top performance with a high average transmission along with the center wavelength tuning flexibility of a diffraction grating. The current complete set covers wavelengths from 340 - 800 nm. Parts are immediately available from stock in 25.2 x 35.6 x 2.0 mm sizes, and custom sizing may be done within one week.

These filters are ideal for fluorescence microscopy and optimized for FURA2 dual wavelength excitation, imaging, and quantitation applications, as well as hyperspectral imaging, high-throughput spectroscopy and fiber-optic telecommunications systems that can benefit from the spectral and two-dimensional imaging performance of thin-film filters. Because of their excellent polarization insensitivity and high optical quality and damage threshold, they are well-suited for a wide range of laser applications as well.

"At the heart of this invention is Semrock's discovery of a way to make very steep edge filters at very high angles of incidence with essentially no polarization splitting and nearly equal edge steepness for both polarizations of light," said Turan Erdogan, Chief Technical Officer.
