Optical Filters and Optical Windows

Kyocera manufactures and supplies optical filters for visible light image sensors and infrared (IR) sensors, and optical windows for industrial machinery such as vacuum equipment and mining machinery. Quality and expanded application of optical filters and optical windows are supported by Kyocera's wealth of options in substrate materials, material processing technologies, optical thin film design and processing technologies, bonding technologies such as metallization, brazing materials, low-melting-point glass, and resins.

  • Transmittance data of optical filters below are measured or simulated by Kyocera.

Visible Light + Near Infrared (Dual Wavelength) Bandpass Filters

Application: Night Vision Equipment, License Plate Recognition Cameras, Security Cameras, etc.

Visible Light and 940nm Dual Bandpass Filter
Substrate: Borosilicate Glass (0.30mmt)

Low Shift IR Cut Filters

Application: Thin Smartphones

Feature: Wavelength shift caused by wider incident angle is reduced so that shading issues are prevented.
