When should I use an IR cut filter and when should I use heat absorbing glass?

View Now Add to saved content

I recently removed the IR cut filter from my camera and did not replace it with any type of clear glass. It has since lost sensitivity in the IR, which was the goal, but also focus ability in the optics. Can you explain why this is so?

Ultraviolet Lasers

A new generation of small, cost-effective, CW ultraviolet (UV) lasers allows more applications to move to UV wavelengths for increased power and precision.
