How neutral density filters and optical filters are made?
Posted: Thu Sep 15, 2022 10:54 am
I am wondering if anyone know the composition of oxides in a standard neutral density filter or other optical filter?
This project is for IB Internal Asesement and a personal project.
I have read the they are composed of cobalt oxide + another oxide for a desired percentage of light block.
I understand that CoO is extremely toxic. Is there an alternative I can use?
I would like to make a ND coating similar to hydro-dipping that would allow a user to coat their own lenses, glass etc.
I have hypersensitivity, and I want to develop this to help not only myself but others with this issue.
Thanks,
