Knight Optical's Custom-Made Precision Optics

Glass Neutral Density filters attenuate light by absorption just like the gelatine neutral density filters. Glass ND Filters are more robust and tend to have more uniform absorption characteristics. They also attenuate by absorption and so care must be taken to avoid overheating. Attenuation is achieved by polishing glass to the correct thickness. Knight Optical offers stock absorptive ND filters in 12.5mm and 25mm diameters, and 50x50mm squares manufactured from high quality glass. Each filter is available with blocking between 0.1 and 4.0 OD and are available to purchase direct from this page. In addition to our stock absorptive glass ND filters, Knight Optical also offers an extensive custom optic service thanks to our many years of experience in the industry. We can supply ND filters cut to sizes and shapes to fit individual application and mount filters where applicable. READ PDF FOR FULL SPECIFICATION

Knight Optical can offer Optolite Plastic Diffusers for use within Photography. We supply a range of Optolite Plastic Diffusers for a range of applications. All individually QA checked and metrology tested for quality to ensure parts meet customer specification. Supplied in a range of sizes and shapes with custom coatings tailored to meet your individual applications. Knight Optical supply precision optical components to customers within photgraphy. Optolite Plastic Diffusers are used in to diffuse the flash from cameras to prevent photos with harsh light and hard shadows to soften and improve the appeal of the image. Diffusers are also used in lightning systems to prevent glare from computer screens, the manufacture of lightboxes for advertising, viewing x-rays, and other applications.

Knight Optical can offer infra-red interference Shortpass filters for use in Heat Shielding. We supply a range of infra-red interference Shortpass filters for a range of applications. All individually QA checked and metrology tested for quality to ensure parts meet customer specification. Supplied in a range of sizes and shapes with custom coatings tailored to meet your individual applications. Knight Optical supply precision optical components to customers in Heat Shielding. Infra-red interference Shortpass filters are designed to transmit wavelengths shorter than the “cut-off” of the filter and to block bands above that. In many systems that require heat shielding while still needing visibility a shortpass filter can be used. These can attenuate infrared radiation and allow through visible light, which allows your temperature sensitive equipment to be visible. They can also be paired with a longpass filter to make a bandpass filters. Read PDF for more Information…..

Knight Optical can offer Rhomboid Prisms for use within Imaging Applications. We supply a range of Rhomboid Prisms for a range of applications. All individually QA checked and metrology tested for quality to ensure parts meet customer specification. Supplied in a range of sizes and shapes with custom coatings tailored to meet your individual applications. Knight Optical supply precision optical components to customers within Imaging Applications. Rhomboid Prisms are designed to displace a beam laterally while maintaining its direction. Rhomboid prisms rely on total internal reflection and so do not often need to be coated For more information read the PDF…
