Choosing the Right IR Filter for Camera Modules
Selecting the appropriate IR filter for your camera module is crucial for achieving optimal image quality. Whether you’re designing a smartphone camera, security system, or industrial vision application, the right filter makes all the difference.
Key Factors to Consider
1. Cutoff Wavelength
The cutoff wavelength determines which light frequencies are blocked. For most visible light cameras, a cutoff around 650-700nm is standard. However, specialized applications may require different specifications.
2. Optical Density
Higher optical density means better IR blocking, but it may also reduce overall light transmission. Balance is key for achieving clear, accurate images.
3. Filter Size and Mounting
Ensure the filter dimensions match your camera module specifications. Consider the mounting method – whether it’s adhesive, mechanical, or integrated into the lens assembly.
