These filters are designed for the isolation of individual lines of mercury arc lamps. Each filter obtains maximum throughput of the desired mercury line through excellent pass-band transmission and careful optimization of filter design. The non-absorbing blocking and fused silica substrate ensures that undesired mercury lines and other background light are effectively eliminated without the risk of filter solarization. The MaxLamp family has been launched with mercury arc lamp filters to isolate the 365 nm i-line and the critical 254 nm UV line. These bandpass filters offer an average transmission of >93% and >65% over the 365 nm and 254 nm bands respectively.
