IR Absorbing Water Filter

IR Absorbing Water FilterIR absorbing water filters protect downstream optical components from IR thermal damage by absorbing all infrared light between 1000-3000nm. When filled with distilled water, it absorbs nearly 100% of all IR light in this spectral range while allowing approx 98% of all visible light between 350-700nm through. It also absorbs little UV light between 200-350nm as nearly 80% of all UV light is transmitted through. All Sciencetech IR absorbing water filter models have a re-circulated water jacket to cool the filter itself making it excellent for high power applications. Sciencetech offers IR filters in both aluminum and stainless steel models. Aluminum filters are used where only distilled water is used. Stainless steel filters are used when the absorbing media is water, copper sulfate or nickel sulfate.

Aluminum and Stainless Steel Body
Sciencetech IR absorbing water filters are available in both aluminum and stainless steel bodies. The Aluminum body version is cheaper, but must use distilled water. The stainless steel body version is used for other absorbing liquids, such as water with copper sulfate or nickel sulfate.
