These bandpass colored glass filters are manufactured from different colors of Schott® glass and are intended for use in a wide variety of applications. The filters are available in both round and square varieties. The Ø25 mm round filters will fit into our manual or motorized filter wheels; alternatively, they can be mounted in a lens tube. A selection of Ø25 mm filters is available premounted. To mount the 2" x 2" square filters, choose from our selection of fixed filter holders. For the 6" x 6" filters, we recommend the FP02 Plate Holder. In addition to the bandpass filters offered here, Thorlabs offers a series of longpass colored glass filters. If transmission ratios greater than those provided by the filters listed here are required, we provide a selection of bandpass colored glass filters with antireflective coatings.

Several of the colored glasses used for our filters are fluorescent at certain wavelengths; please consider our fluorescence imaging filters if your application is sensitive to fluorescent signals. For narrowband sources, we recommend our dielectric bandpass filters.

Colored Glass Filter Kits
Thorlabs also offers two filter kits containing our most popular bandpass and longpass filters. For specific product details, please see the bottom of the page.

Storage Boxes
If you purchase individual filters and would like to have a safe, convenient way to store them when not in use, consider our storage boxes. There is one box (KT01) designed for mounted Ø25 mm filters and a second (KT03) for the unmounted 2" x 2" filters.

The FGK01 Colored Glass Filter Kit contains three filters from our bandpass family and seven from our longpass family. The Ø25 mm filters are premounted in an SM1L03 lens tube that is engraved with the Item # and bandpass region (for bandpass filters) or cut-on wavelength (for longpass filters), and ship in a box with labeled slots to aid organization.
