Chroma OIII Filter Optimized for f/3 - 5nm

Chroma’s OIII filters isolate the 500.7nm primary emission line of doubly ionized oxygen. After H-alpha, this is the next most common emission when imaging nebulae

• Filters designed for use with CCD and for f/3.0 telescopes
• No reflections leading to image distortions or "back reflections"
• Transmitted wavefront better than 0.25 waves/inch
• Durable sputter coatings
• Parallelism: < 30 arcsec
• Thickness: 3.0 +/-0.05mm
• Extremely durable coatings withstand humidity changes and extreme temperature fluxes and remain spectrally accurate
• in CWL and band pass adherence
• Capable of manufacturing large filters for large detectors: 50mm x 50mm, 65mm up to 76.2mm and 101.6mm square
• All filters manufactured in Vermont

Chroma manufactures the highest quality astronomy filters with durable, sputtered hard coatings using single substrates of the best glass, eliminating the need for laminations. All primary filter coatings are applied on the front surface and anti-reflection coatings on the rear surface to prevent ghosting and to maximize transmission.

Highly precise and accurate, the passbands of these filters remain spectrally stable and do not drift in response to extreme temperature fluctuations or changes in humidity. They also can provide larger sizes and unique passbands upon request.
