ASTRONOMICAL FILTERS: METHANE BANDPASS

Rugate Technologies has fabricated custom astronomical bandpass filters for the Gemini 8M Telescope Project at Hilo, HI. A set consists of a set of two complementary bandpass filters in the near-infrared (NIR) spectral region that provide inband transmission over 80%, out of band blocking above OD 4, and superior edge slopes of 1.2%. These filters operate at cryogenic temperature. Call for pricing.

RUGATE FILTERS:

In additional to traditional discrete-layer optical coatings, Rugate Technologies, Inc. specializes in Rugate coatings. Rugate coatings are optical interference films where the refractive index of the film continuously and periodically grades as a function of the film's optical thickness. Rugate filters were originally conceived as a means of providing narrow reflection notch filters. By varying the index profile sinusoidally, rather than as a square wave, and by controlling the index excursion, very narrow notch filters free of higher order harmonics can be produced. Due to the lack of higher order harmonics, multiple index profiles can be easily superimposed to produce complex spectral performance.



Consider Rugate Technology for your optical filter requirements.

SURPLUS OPTICAL COMPONENTS:

We have recently acquired a large number of high Precision optical components. These optics are typically BK-7, grade A optical glass or fused silica (Suprasil 1 or Dynasil 1000). We are offering these optics in two categories: Laboratory Grade, or High Precision.

  • Laboratory Grade: are of high quality, but lack full specification. They are great for general laboratory use. A wide variety of optics are available - call if you have a specific requirement.
  • High Precision Optics: are components which were previously sold as catalog optics to catalog specifications. Only high precision optics are listed on-line.

Should the buyer find that the products do not meet their application, the buyer has the right to return the products to Rugate Technologies, within 30 days after receipt, for replacement or credit.

Surplus optical components are uncoated.
