Linear Step Neutral Density Filter

Linear Step Neutral Density Filter | UltraOpto


Product Overview

UltraOpto Linear Step Neutral Density Filter is specially designed for segmented light attenuation and system calibration scenarios. With multiple fixed optical density levels arranged linearly, it achieves discrete and high-precision graded adjustment of light intensity.


It can be used in combination with linear graduated density filters to easily realize wide-range and precise continuous attenuation control, making it an ideal choice for optical system calibration, spectral measurement, and exposure control. The standard spectral range covers 250nm~2500nm, and it also supports the development of customized solutions with special sizes, customized density arrays and specified wavelengths.
