describe
A bandpass filter is an optical component that selectively transmits light within a specific wavelength range while blocking light in other wavelength ranges. Bandpass filters are usually composed of multiple layers of optical films, which achieve transmission and blocking of specific wavelengths through the principles of interference and reflection. This type of filter can be used in optical systems for spectral analysis, imaging, lasers, and other applications, playing a role in selective transmission and filtering of specific wavelengths.
