Infrared filters (Heat-absorbing filters,), commonly known as "IR filter" are often used for generating a light similar to sunlight (artificial sunlight) or in order to remove the unwanted rays in the near-infrared region (NIR) from the light beam.
Borofloat / Float glass / Clear glass | 3 mm | from 20 x 20 mm to 1,080 x 800 mm |
Borofloat / Float glass / Clear glass | 4 mm | from 20 x 20 mm to 1,080 x 800 mm |
Borofloat / Float glass / Clear glass | 5 mm | from 20 x 20 mm to 1,080 x 800 mm |
In addition, we also provide even smaller filter sizes with less material thickness.
We can cut the filters round as well as in any other shape – please see Customised Glass Cutting Service.
Nearly all powerful light sources emit not only useful light but also superfluous or unwanted frequencies, leading to further heating of the illuminated objects. Based on the standard substrate Borofloat, our IR filters can be used to remove any unwanted rays in the near-infrared region (NIR) from the light beam.
Our filter types:
Filter types | Spectral position of Reflection | |

IR2 | 870 - 950 nm | 17 kB |
IR3 | 850 - 900 nm | 17 kB |
IR4 | 800 - 850 nm Filter with higher UV transmission / Sun simulation | 17 kB |
IR5 | 800 - 900 nm | 17 kB |
IR7 | 850 - 900 nm | 17 kB |
We produce IR filters for generating light similar to sunlight (sun simulation).
Various applications require light which is as similar to sunlight as possible. With this, for example, you can test the electronic performance of photovoltaic cells and modules. Or you can use light which is similar to sunlight for testing material ageing. The heat-reflection filters are matched exactly to the light sources used (continuous wave and flash) and customised versions are manufactured for both applications.
