These longpass colored glass filters are manufactured from different colors of Schott glass and are intended for use in a wide variety of applications. In addition to the longpass filters offered here, Thorlabs also offers a series of bandpass colored glass filters. In either case, the filters are available in both round and square varieties. The 25 mm round filters will fit into our manual or motorized filter wheels; alternatively, they can be mounted in a lens tube. A selection of Ø25 mm filters is available premounted. To mount the 2" x 2" square filters, choose from our selection of fixed filter holders. For the 6" x 6" filter, we recommend the FP02 Plate Holder.
Several of the colored glasses used for our filters are fluorescent at certain wavelengths; for more details on how this may affect certain applications, contact Technical Support. For narrowband sources, we recommend our dielectric edgepass filters.
Colored Glass Filter Kits
Thorlabs also offers two filter kits containing our most popular bandpass and longpass filters. For specific product details, please see the bottom of the page.
Storage Boxes
If you purchase individual filters and would like to have a safe, convenient way to store them when not in use, consider our storage boxes. These are the same storage boxes that our kit filters arrive in. There is one box (KT01) designed for mounted Ø25 mm filters and a second (KT03) for the unmounted 2" x 2" filters.

Below are transmission plots (including surface reflections) as a function of wavelength for each of the colored glass filters presented on this page. Data was obtained for normal incidence. In each case, the shaded region indicates the range for which the transmission was >50% of the maximum transmission for that particular filter. To enlarge the plot, simply click on the plot. Thorlabs also offers bandpass colored filters.

Transmission (including surface reflections) is plotted as a function of wavelength to the right. The region shaded in blue represents the range over which this filter is transmissive. At wavelengths shorter than the cut-on wavelength, the filter blocks the light.

Thorlabs offers two filter kits that bundle our most popular longpass and bandpass colored glass filters. The FGK01 Colored Glass Filter Kit contains three filters from our bandpass family and seven from our longpass family. The Ø25 mm filters are premounted in an SM1L03 lens tube that is engraved with the part number and bandpass region (for bandpass filters) or cut-on wavelength (for longpass filters), and ship in a KT01 Storage Box with labeled slots to aid organization. The FGK01S Colored Glass Filter Kit contains the unmounted, square 2" x 2" counterparts to the filters in the FGK01.
