This filter is part of the Bullseye&#8482; apodizer line of customizable gradient filters.  These filters eliminate undesirable intensity variations in optical systems.  The density of the filter increases radially from a clear center, where light is usually at its peak intensity, to the outside edge, where it can becomes completely opaque.  <\/p>\n<p>The Bullseye&#8482; apodizing filter can be designed for most distribution functions, such as a Gaussian function, regardless of the size of the beam.  The distribution function, substrate type, and bandwidth are a function of the customer&#8217;s specific requirements.<\/p>\n<p>Key features include:<br \/>\n&#8226;\tDensity gradients can be customized to suit any application<br \/>\n&#8226;\tThe filter can be applied to a number of different substrate types<br \/>\n&#8226;\tCan be designed to be used from the UV to the Far IR.<\/p>\n<p>Inserting a Bullseye&#8482; apodizing filter at the aperture stop of your imaging system modifies the intensity variations of your light source which can result in the elimination of edge diffraction patterns. <\/p>\n<p>Application examples are found in diverse industries, such as:<br \/>\n&#8226;\tEntertainment &#8211; To make light distribution uneven for cosmetic applications.<br \/>\n&#8226;\tImaging &#8211; To break up diffraction patterns by the introduction of soft edges.<br \/>\n&#8226;\tPhotography &#8211; To create soft edged in pictures<br \/>\n&#8226;\tIndustrial &#8211; To make sensors more sensitive in the center of the field of view<br \/>\n&#8226;\tAstronomy &#8211; To reduce high intensity light sources around the featured object<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The custom features of our Bullseye&#8482; Apodizer filters allow system designers to match the exact requirements of their instrument, whether the need is for one filter, or in production volumes.&#8221; Says Randy Reynard, Vice President of Reynard Corporation.<\/p>\n<p>About Reynard Corporation<br \/>\nEstablished in 1984, Reynard Corporation designs and manufactures precision thin film optical products for a global customer base, both military and commercial.
