Visible and Infrared AbsorbersExciton, Inc.
Visible and Infrared Absorbers
Exciton’s new absorbing dyes, or “absorbers,” can provide selective or broadband light filtering throughout the visible and near infrared. Absorbers with relatively narrow absorption bands, such as those shown in the graph, filter out IR light with low visible color even at high optical densities. They can be used for selective laser wavelength filters and for security applications. Narrowband absorbers can be combined with visible light-absorbing dyes to create sharp cutoff, longpass filters. See our website for the latest information.
