Filters
Ofil specializes in detection in the Solar Blind UV band (240 -
280 nm). Solar radiation in this band is absorbed by the ozone in
the atmosphere and do not reach the earth surface. Detection in
this band in full daylight is therefore performed with negligible
background and at high signal to background noise ratio.
Conventional optical filters can not provide the levels of sunlight
blocking and therefore the available sensors are blinded by normal
daylight. Ofil's filters block sunlight to the extent preventing
unwanted radiation from reaching the detector while transmitting
in a narrow UV band.

SBUV filters can be utilized in the fields of:
- Electrical discharges, arcing and corona detection for the utility
market
- Corona and arcing in fiber-optics communication lines (ADSS)
- Fire and alcohol/ ethanol flames detection in the oil and chemical
industry
- Forest fire detection
- Rocket plume detection in the defense industry
- Tracking of UV signal
