1.3 OD 25mm Dia, Absorptive ND Filter

Product Family Description

• Attenuates Visible Light Via Absorption, Rather than Reflection
• Multiple Filters Can be Stacked for Increased Blocking
• Optical Densities from 0.1 to 4.0 are Available
• Also Available Pre-mounted in C-Mount Housings

Hoya Absorptive Neutral Density (ND) Filters possess level spectral transmittance characteristics in the visible region and attenuate light by absorption with minimal reflection. Typically, the neutrality and density of absorptive filters are a function of the material and the thickness. Since Hoya neutral density filters are held to a specific optical density, the thickness is only a function of the glass type. Hoya Absorptive Neutral Density (ND) Filters are useful in light control applications for measuring instruments and exposure control in imaging. Spectral variations occur as optical density increases. 

Optical Density exhibits an additive relationship; for example, stacking filters with OD values of 0.6 and 0.9 yields a resultant density of 1.5. The optical density is related to the transmission by the following equation: T = 10^-OD x 100 = percent transmission.

Note: Due to supply chain issues, our kits may be delivered with an alternative packaging solution in place of a wooden box. For any questions, please contact [email protected].
