the leading manufacturer of high-performance optical filters
for the Biotech and Analytical Instrumentation markets,
today announced the extension of its family of high performance
high-reliability UV filters, including now a unique long-wave-pass
Raman spectroscopy filter for use with state-of-the-art

Other
new UV filters include additional long-wave-pass and
laser-line filters – all with unparalleled performance

“When Semrock unveiled its first high performance
UV filters in January there was a great deal of excitement,
leading us to quickly expand the UV offerings”, says
Dr, Turan Erdogan, CTO of Semrock. “We are very excited
about our latest demonstrated ability to offer Ion Beam
Sputtered filters with useful features to below 230 nm.
And these cutting edge UV filters are so manufacturable
with Semrock’s proprietary processes that we have
added them to our new 2007/2008 print catalog.”
RazorEdge and MaxLine filters are covered by U.S. patents
issued and pending.
