Description

MBP-A49 is a dual-band bandpass filter operating entirely in the short-wave infrared (SWIR) range, transmitting two high-throughput windows at 1010–1135 nm and 1370–1570 nm while blocking the visible, NIR, and inter-band regions to deep extinction. The first SWIR passband delivers Tavg above 98.4 % with a peak of 99.3 %, and the second reaches Tavg above 99.0 % with a peak of 99.6 %. Blocking is exceptionally deep: Tavg < 2 % from 800–965 nm, 1185–1305 nm, and 1645–1800 nm, and visible-range transmission sits well below 1 %. The combination of near-unity passband transmission and deep inter-band rejection makes MBP-A49 a precision instrument for dual-channel SWIR analysis.

Key Advantages

  • Exceptional passband transmission with Tavg > 98 % in both SWIR windows - delivers near-zero insertion loss for maximum detector signal in demanding low-light SWIR applications.
  • Deep inter-band blocking with Tavg < 2 % - cleanly separates the two SWIR channels, eliminating spectral cross-talk between analysis windows.
  • Full visible and NIR rejection below 1 % - blocks the entire 300–960 nm range, ensuring only SWIR photons reach the detector.
  • Hard-oxide durability - ion-assisted coating resists heat, humidity, solvents, and repeated cleaning.
  • Custom formats available - round, square, or free-form blanks from 5 mm to 450 mm, thickness 0.21–3.8 mm, on Borofloat®, soda-lime, Schott D263 T, or Corning Eagle XG substrates.

Typical Applications

  • InGaAs camera-based SWIR imaging - provides two clean spectral channels for dual-band material identification and sorting with InGaAs focal-plane arrays.
  • Moisture and composition sensing - targets the 1050 nm and 1450 nm water-absorption overtone bands for real-time moisture measurement in food, paper, and pharmaceutical production.
  • Gas analysis and environmental monitoring - passes the absorption windows of CO2, CH4, and H2O for tuneable-diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS).
  • Telecom component testing - covers the O-band (1310 nm region) and extended C/S-band (1370–1570 nm) for fibre-optic test and measurement.
  • Defence and covert surveillance - enables dual-channel SWIR imaging for target identification through haze, fog, and camouflage.
