Semrock Introduces RazorEdge® Short-wave-pass Raman Filters
Semrock today announced that a significant technology breakthrough has led to the introduction of the highest performance short-wave-pass thin-film filters available today.
Rochester, NY, February 10, 2006 --(PR.com)-- Semrock, Inc., the market-leading provider of high-performance optical filters for the Biotech and Analytical Instrumentation markets, today announced that a significant technology breakthrough has led to the introduction of the highest performance short-wave-pass thin-film filters available today.
These new patent-pending filters, which are ideal for Anti-Stokes Raman applications, are the latest addition to the popular high-performance RazorEdge® family of steep edge filters. Like all Semrock RazorEdge filters, these new short-wave-pass filters are designed to attenuate a designated laser-line by six orders of magnitude, and yet maintain a typical edge steepness of only 0.5% of the laser wavelength. Both short- and long-wave-pass RazorEdge® filters are perfectly matched to Semrock’s popular MaxLine™ laser-line cleanup filters. All Semrock filters are made with Ion Beam Sputtering for the ultimate in performance and reliability.
“The ability to make high-performance short-wave-pass filters is surprisingly not a straightforward extension of Semrock’s long-wave-pass filter capability, due to some deep-seated fabrication difficulties that must first be overcome. These new filters were only made possible by significant recent advances in Semrock’s already state-of-the-art optical monitoring system,” said Turan Erdogan, CTO of Semrock. “This is a part of Semrock’s program of continuous improvement.”
