Semrock Manufactures the Worlds First 11-band Optical Filter

Rochester, NY, January 16, 2013- Semrock proudly announces the production of the world’s first 11-band filter with steep edges within a 100nm wide spectral window. The filter has high transmission and exceptional blocking outside each of the eleven. The unmatched spectral complexity of this 11-band filter was designed specifically to match the corresponding formaldehyde fluorescence emission spikes over the 380-480nm wavelength range. The filter can be utilized investigate the homogeneous charge combustion ignition (HCCI) combustion process.

This is not Semrock’s first monumental accomplishment; they were also the world’s first manufacturer of a five band filter for multicolor fluorescence applications. Semrock is proud to provide their OEM customers with optical filter solutions that meet the most demanding, spectrally complex applications.
