UV/IR-Blockers

Materion Balzers Optics UV/IR-Blockers effectively remove damaging ultraviolet and unwanted infrared radiation, while ensuring maximum visible light transmission. Such filters are indispensable, especially in conjunction with high power broadband light sources. For applications such as museum lighting, filtering out UV rays protects delicate artifacts.

A dielectric oxide coating design provides excellent transmission over the entire visible spectrum, without distorting the spectral emission of the light source. Filters are optimized for metal halide lamps and are particularly well suited for use in applications where high thermal loads exist. Where infrared radiation is not critical the Materion Balzers Optics UV-Blocker can be used.
