Optical Filters are used to selectively transmit or block certain wavelengths or wavelength ranges within optical systems.

Confused about the differences between traditional-coated and hard-coated optical filters?

Acktar Advanced Coatings produces light-absorbing components and materials to control stray light and eliminate noise from specular reflection.

Easily add and remove optical filters from any cage system setup after viewing this quick demonstration of integrating a filter holder plate and interchangeable filter holder using #86-018 and #85-649.

Waveplates and retarders are optical components designed to transmit light while modifying its polarization state without attenuating, deviating, or displacing the beam.

Polarizers are used in a wide range of imaging and research and development applications.
