Color Separation Filters

Color separation filters, also known as dichroic filters, are designed to separate visible light into usable spectrum for such applications as: color correction, light balancing, control systems, studio and architectural lighting, display systems, color film processors, color photocopiers, color television cameras and many more applications.

Reynard  Corporation provides a dichroic coating for commercial, aerospace  and military applications. Color separation filters are sometimes known as dichroic filters because their purpose is to separate incoming visible light into separate colors or into beams of  different wavelengths. Dichroic coatings achieve this color or wavelength separation with a much higher degree of accuracy than conventional filters.

Applications of dichroic filters or color separation filters include color correction and light balancing, and they are found in architectural, studio and  theatrical lighting, color TV or camcorder cameras, automated color  sorting systems, color enlargers and color projectors.

Our dichroic coatings are applied in a vacuum deposition process. The application of the thin film dichroic coating in layers of varying number and thickness determine the precise wavelengths that are separated or passed through.

Our dichroic coatings can be engineered and customized for your particular custom application.
