12.7mm 400–1100nm Reflective Neutral Density Filter

The12.7mm 400–1100nm Reflective Neutral Density Filter

is a broadband optical attenuation filter designed for precise 

light intensity control across a wide wavelength range.

It covers400–1100nm, extending from the visible spectrum 

nto the near-infrared region. Multiple transmission levels from

0.01% to 90%can be selected according to optical system requirements.

The reflective ND coating is designed to attenuate optical intensity 

primarily through reflection rather than relying only on absorption, 

helping reduce thermal load in demanding optical applications.

Key Features

1. Broadband 400–1100nm Attenuation

The filter provides broadband attenuation across the400–1100nmwavelength range.

This broad operating range makes it suitable for optical systems 

that work across both visible and near-infrared wavelengths.

Typical applications include:

  • Laser systems
  • Optical measurement
  • Imaging
  • Spectroscopy
  • Optical calibration
  • Scientific instruments
  • Industrial optical equipment

2. Selectable Transmission from 0.01% to 90%

Different optical systems require different levels of attenuation.

This product supports multiple selectable transmission levels:

0.01% / 0.1% / 1% / 10% / 25% / 50% / 90%

The exact available transmission level should be confirmed according to the required coating design.

This provides flexibility for:

  • Laser intensity reduction
  • Detector protection
  • Optical signal adjustment
  • Measurement system calibration
  • Imaging exposure control

3. Reflective Neutral Density Coating

The filter uses areflective neutral density coatingto reduce 

optical intensity across a broad spectral range.

Compared with strongly absorbing attenuation designs, 

the reflective structure can help reduce absorbed optical energy and associated thermal loading.

This makes the filter suitable for applications where optical stability and heat management are important.

4. Optical-Grade Glass Substrate

The filter is manufactured using anoptical-grade glass substratewith precision optical surface quality.

The substrate provides:

  • Good optical stability
  • High surface quality
  • Reliable mechanical properties
  • Compatibility with precision optical systems
  • Long-term application stability

Optical Performance

Broadband Attenuation

The filter is designed to provide controlled optical attenuation over a broad400–1100nmspectral range.

High Transmission Uniformity

The neutral-density coating is designed for consistent attenuation 

across the operating wavelength range, minimizing wavelength-dependent variation.

Low Absorption Design

The reflective structure helps redirect unwanted optical energy 

rather than relying entirely on absorption.

This can help reduce thermal loading within the filter.

Stable Optical Performance

The optical glass substrate and durable coating structure 

support stable performance under standard optical operating environments.

Applications
