Neutral
density (ND) filters are used to attenuate incident radiation
without altering its spectral distribution. The neutral
density value of an ND filter is related to the transmittance
by:
D=Log(1/T)
Optical Density: D
Transmittance: T

Coated Neutral Density Filter |
Metallic
coated ND filters are glass or quartz substrates with
a precision metallic coating (Inconel) that provides uniform
attenuation across a wide spectral range.
