Dichroic shortpass filters are made of a thin-film dielectric coating on glass. The glass substrate can be made of soda-lime glass, tempered glass, borosilicate glass, or borofloat glass.

Dichroic filters are available in longpass, shortpass, bandpass, bandblocking, hot and cold mirrors, IR and UV cut-off types. The wavelengths range from 300-1200nm depending on the type.

Dichroic shortpass filters are used to transmit wavelengths lower than the cut off point and reflect all higher wavelengths. They are commonly used in stage lighting and entertainment.

Dichroic shortpass filters have a transmission rate of T Max=95% typical depending on the type and substrate.
