Discover new standards of optics with Knight Optical's Interference Bandpass Filters.

14 Jul 2023

Unlock the true potential of your optical applications with Knight Optical's extraordinary range of interference bandpass filters. Our vast selection is available for direct order from our website and covers the UV, visible, and infrared regions.

Our filters guarantee that only the desired wavelengths enter or exit your system, offering unrivalled control and exceptional performance.

Our comprehensive catalogue of bandpass filters includes:


● UV filters: Centre wavelengths ranging from 214-400nm.
● Visible bandpass filters: Centre wavelengths between 400-700nm.
● Near-infrared filters: Centre wavelengths up to 2000nm.
● ANPR/ALPR filters: Optimized for commonly used LED lights at 740nm, 850nm, 870nm, and 940nm, achieving a peak transmission above 85%.
● Fluorescence filters: Sets of excitation and emission bandpass filters for specific fluorophores such as CY5, TRITC, and DAPI.

Our bandpass filters, available in diameters of 12.5mm, 25mm, and 50mm, offer varying bandwidths (FWHM) from 3nm up to 70nm, allowing you to tailor your optical setup to perfection.
