  IR Cut Filter (Cold Filter) - MF-CLD127S

MF-CLD127S IR Cut Filter / Cold Filter

Dielectric multilayer glass filter for visible-light transmission and infrared heat reduction

MF-CLD127S is an IR cut filter, also called a cold filter, designed to transmit visible light while reducing infrared radiation and heat load.

It uses dielectric multilayer vapor-deposition coating on polished glass and is intended for optical systems where heat reduction and visible-light clarity are important.

Availability Notice
MF-CLD127S is currently out of stock, and future continuation of this product is uncertain. Please contact us before planning this filter into a new product, project, optical system or purchasing process. Price, lead time, specification and availability may change without prior notice.


What MF-CLD127S is used for

MF-CLD127S is used when visible light needs to pass through an optical system while infrared radiation and heat load should be reduced.

A cold filter can help protect heat-sensitive optical parts such as polarizers, optical films and display-related components from excessive infrared exposure.

Typical Applications

  • Polarizer heat protection in front of projector light sources
  • 3D projection systems using polarizers or optical films
  • Gel documentation systems where background glow should be reduced
  • Optical assemblies that require visible-light transmission with IR reduction
