Knight Optical’s Infrared (IR) Interference Gas Band

27 May 2021

Knight Optical – the leading supplier of metrology-tested, premium-quality optical components – is a renowned name amongst engineers and R&D specifiers working within the gas and utilities sectors. With a wide-ranging portfolio of Infrared (IR) Optics suitable for applications such as environmental monitoring, security and thermal imaging applications, Knight Optical's Infrared (IR) Interference Gas Band Filters are a firm favourite for many within the industry.

A specific variety of Bandpass Filter, with project-specific purposes, our Infrared (IR) Interference Gas Band Filters can be used for the detection of a wide range of gases. What's more, we can supply these filters in a required centre wavelength (CWL) with a narrow bandwidth in the short-wave infrared (SWIR), mid wavelength infrared (MWIR) and long-wave infrared (LWIR) – ensuring every project's requirements are met, regardless of complexity. Due to the coating being deposited using energetic sputtering, this makes them very durable and resistant to harsh environmental conditions.

At Knight Optical, we understand the importance of ultra-precision and the need for tailor-made solutions; particularly with regards to monitoring applications within the gas and utility sectors. It's for this reason that we offer our Infrared (IR) Interference Gas Band Filters as custom-made components for seamless integration with any device, regardless of size or requirements. This made-to-measure service allows you to specify the dimensions, substrates, tolerances and optical coatings – if required – that are best suited to your application.
