Introduction to optical filters: Interference and glass filters

Explore the key differences between interference and glass filters, focusing on transmittance properties and application suitability. Get expert guidance on selecting the right filter glass based on environmental conditions, wavelength requirements, and material properties.

Key take aways from this session:

  • Understand the real difference
    Get a clear breakdown of how glass filters and interference filters perform under different environmental conditions — and why choosing the right one matters for your application’s success.
  • Optimize for performance & precision
    Learn how temperature, angle of incidence, and polarization affect filter performance — so you can design with confidence and avoid unwanted shifts, ghosting, or signal loss.
  • Choose smart, build better
    From smartphone cameras to automotive systems and astronomy, discover which filter type fits your exact needs — including expert insights into combining filter types for best-in-class results.
  • Go beyond the specs
    See how graphical tools and advanced data visualization can help you interpret complex transmission spectra more intuitively — and choose filters that perform exactly as expected.
