Color for the Colorblind

Don’t patronize me, nor the other readers here. I read your webpage before I posted. Words have meanings, which are not subject to redefinition by biscotti-addled PR flacks. The term ‘digital’ has a particular meaning. This is not in any way digital. ‘Digital’ implies a circuit changing between two discrete levels of voltage over a short time period, for the purpose of carrying information. Here you have a bandpass filter which changes between high transmission and low transmission over a small change in wavelength. This is not a time based operation; saying it ‘switches quickly’ is nonsense. Nor does it carry data. It’s a different thing, like night and day can’t be referred to as true and false.

Don’t get me wrong: I think you have a very interesting product here. Please don’t blow it by technically ignorant PR which hurts your case.

How about posting an actual spectrogram of absorption vs wave length, instead of the idealized cartoon on your
webpage? Something like the ones on this page:
