666-F7 Didymium glass filter
The F7 marked didymium glass filter is actually a standard to check for wavelength accuracy in the UV region (see page 5), but it can also be used for checking the photometric accuracy.
Checking the photometric accuracy in the UV range is possible at the following wavelengths: 270 nm, 280 nm, 300 nm, 320 nm and 340 nm. As a standard, the thickness of the filter is manufactured in a way that it will have an absorbance of approx. 0.5 A at a wavelength of 340 nm. Absorbance values will increase with decreasing wavelengths up to ca. 1.5 A at 270 nm.
