The Bandpass Lens Filter 800 nm is designed for near-infrared (NIR) imaging, transmitting light at its 800 nm peak wavelength while blocking unwanted wavelengths outside the 750–850 nm useful range. It attaches directly to a standard machine vision lens using the built-in front filter thread, providing a secure and reliable mounting interface. With a wide range of available thread sizes, the BP800 integrates seamlessly with many lens formats, ensuring stable optical performance in demanding NIR inspection environments. Overview of the BP800 Narrow Bandpass Filter Narrow bandpass filters transmit only a selected portion of the spectrum while suppressing all other wavelengths. In the case of the BP800, transmission exceeds 90% at the 800 nm peak, and remains above 80% throughout the 750–850 nm useful range. This corresponds to a 100 nm FWHM (±5 nm), giving the filter a broader passband ideal for high-efficiency NIR illumination and detection.

If you are using a C-mount lens on a GigE camera or USB3 camera, the filter can also be placed inside the C-mount connection instead of on the front of the lens. Installed between the camera and the lens, the filter remains fixed within the optical path, ensuring stable alignment and consistent image performance. These versatile mounting options make the BP800 easy to integrate into nearly any machine vision setup. 800 nm Bandpass Filter: Advantages • High transmission at the 800 nm peak wavelength • Strong blocking of out-of-band light • Enhanced image contrast and cleaner signal output • Stable optical behavior across varying lighting conditions • Reliable, repeatable performance for precision near-infrared imaging Find the BP800 Filter Best Suited to Your Optical Setup Select the BP800 narrow bandpass lens filter in the thread size that fits your lens.
