Figure 5 shows the transmission spectra of the two colored glass filters included with Kronos. Any
incident light within the high transmittance regions can pass through the filters easily. For example,
the dark blue filter, 300-450 nm + >700 nm, has high transmittance around 350 nm and allows the
Xe lamp to function as a UV/blue light source. If you wish to pump with a separate wavelength
region (e.g. 500 nm), simply use the lighter blue filter, 400-700 nm, which is transparent in that
region.
