UV-IR cut filter: Cuts ultraviolet and infrared rays, transmits visible light.

In recent years, "STEAM education" has rapidly spread in educational settings, increasing the importance of experimental environments and measurement technologies for experiential learning in science and technology. Among these, spectroscopic techniques that analyze substances and environments using light have gained attention. Not only in cutting-edge research fields such as spectroscopic measurement, laser experiments, and biosensing, but also in universities, technical colleges, and high schools, there has been an increase in experiments utilizing optical technologies. The foundation of these technologies is optical thin films (optical filters) that control the wavelength of light. Optical thin films significantly improve the accuracy of spectroscopic measurements and optical sensing by allowing only specific wavelengths to pass through or by blocking unwanted light. Furthermore, they hold potential as educational materials that enable intuitive understanding of the physics of light through phenomena such as interference and structural colors. 1.

Optical filters are important devices used to extract only the necessary wavelengths from light or to block unnecessary wavelengths. They are utilized in a wide range of fields, from cameras and displays that we commonly see, to spectroscopic analysis devices used in medical and bio fields, as well as in industrial applications such as laser processing and optical communication. Light encompasses a broad wavelength range, including ultraviolet, visible, and infrared light; if the desired light cannot be precisely controlled, it can lead to issues such as false detection, increased noise, and decreased image quality. This is where the concepts of "cut-on" and "cut-off" come into play. These concepts indicate the boundary where light begins to transmit and the boundary where transmission ends, forming the foundation of optical filter design. 1. Definition and Basic Principles of Cut-On and Cut-Off The most important parameters for correctly designing and evaluating optical filters are the "cut-on wavelength" and "cut-off wavelength." These are not just names; they are reference values that numerically define the effective performance of the filter, specifically which wavelength ranges are transmitted and which ranges are blocked. 2.

The UV-IR cut filter is an optical thin-film filter that selectively removes unwanted light in the ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) wavelength ranges, allowing only specific wavelength bands of light to be transmitted or reflected with high precision. This filter achieves wavelength selectivity by utilizing interference effects through the precise layering of multilayer dielectric films and metal films. Generally, it requires control of film thickness on the order of nanometers, exceeding several tens to over a hundred layers, and its optical properties are determined by multiple parameters such as film thickness accuracy, refractive index of the film material, smoothness of the film interfaces, and adhesion of the films. 1) What is a UV-IR cut filter? 2) Historical background of UV-IR filter manufacturing in Japan 3) Why has overseas manufacturing of UV-IR cut filters progressed? 4) If UV-IR cut filters were to be produced again in Japan... necessary points (hypothesis) 5) Technically important points when selecting UV-IR cut filters 6) Future prospects Conclusion - The efforts of Adachi New Industry Co., Ltd. to focus on domestic production in Japan For more details, please visit our company website.
