Abstract

A filter transmitting a narrow band of light at 560 mμ is of particular importance in the colorimetry of sugar solutions, in optical pyrometry, in abridged spectrophotometry, and in photometry. A new 4-component glass filter has been designed which isolates and transmits light at 560 mμ more effectively than previous filters. Two components of this filter are of Corning glass and two of Jena glass. The spectral transmissions of the filter and its components are illustrated. The spectral centroid of the light transmitted by the filter is at 560 mμ for both incandescent and daylight illuminants. Various other luminous characteristics of the filter are also defined and values given.
