Photo of edge filtersSets of LWP and SWP filters offer wavelength coverage over the 400nm to 1000nm spectrum. These filters are quite diverse, and are used in any application requiring the re-direction of a particular band of light. A few such applications are: as trim filters to remove unwanted sideband radiation, color enhancement for maximum contrast in color applications, color combining for photographic use, and as order sorting filters in photometry.
