BBP-940W2 Bandpass Filter
BBP-940W2 isolates the 940 nm channel with ~97 % throughput across ~915–995 nm and near-baseline leakage elsewhere—ideal for ToF, tracking, and NIR machine vision.
- Main passband (T): ~96–98 % T @ 915 – 995 nm
- Cut-on / cut-off: Steep edges near ~900 nm and ~1000 nm
- Out-of-band (VIS–NIR): ~0–2 % T across ~300 – 900 nm
- Out-of-band (NIR): ~0–2 % T across ~1020 – 1200 nm
- Ghost control: Optional rear AR and slight wedge available
- Substrates: Borofloat®, Eagle XG, D263 T (≤ 450 °C), soda-lime (≤ 150 °C)
- Size / thickness: 5 – 450 mm • 0.21 – 3.8 mm (custom cut & dicing)

BBP-940W2 is a high-efficiency near-infrared bandpass centred on 940 nm, delivering
~96–98 % transmission across ~915–995 nm with steep edges that rapidly suppress out-of-band light.
Outside the main window, transmission stays near baseline (~0–2 %) across most of the visible and near-IR
(300–900 nm and ~1020–1200 nm), improving contrast and reducing sensor bloom under mixed illumination.
Typical uses: 940 nm IR illumination, time-of-flight and structured light depth systems,
biometric illumination (iris/face), IR beacons and tracking markers, and reflectance/absorption photometry
where a clean 940 nm channel matters.
KUPO supplies rear-surface AR, slight wedge, and rapid custom cutting—from small test chips to 450 mm plates—
on high-temperature glass (Borofloat®, Eagle XG, D263 T) or economical soda-lime.
Description
BBP-940W2 is a near-infrared bandpass filter centred around 940 nm. It delivers a high transmission window of ~96–98% from roughly ~915–995 nm, with steep edges that quickly suppress out-of-band light. Outside the passband, transmission stays near the baseline (generally ~0–2% from 300–900 nm and from ~1020–1200 nm), with only small residual ripples.
Key advantages
-
High 940 nm throughput: ~96–98% T across ~915–995 nm for efficient 940 nm LED and laser-diode use.
-
Steep band edges: Rapid cut-on and cut-off around the 900 nm and 1000 nm regions for clean spectral separation.
-
Low out-of-band leakage: Near-baseline transmission across the visible and most of the near-IR reduces background and improves contrast.
-
Stray-light control: Strong rejection outside the passband helps keep sensors from blooming under mixed illumination.
-
Production-ready build: Durable dielectric coating; optional rear-surface AR and slight wedge available to suppress ghosts/flare.
-
Custom formats: Borofloat®, Eagle XG or D263 T (0.21–3.8 mm) for high-temp use to ~450 °C; economical soda-lime for ≤150 °C. Custom sizes 5–450 mm.
Typical applications
-
940 nm IR illumination: Improve signal-to-background for machine vision, night vision, and presence sensing.
-
ToF and structured light: Isolate 940 nm emitters from ambient light for stable depth measurements.
-
Biometric systems: Enhance contrast for iris/face illumination at 940 nm.
-
IR beacons and tracking: Reject visible clutter while passing the 940 nm marker band.
-
Optical sensing and photometry: Clean 940 nm channel for reflectance and absorption measurements.
