MEMS Tunable Optical Filter

DiCon's MEMS tunable optical filter offers many advantages over a traditional tunable optical filter; increased accuracy & resolution, a faster tuning speed, as well as a durability that will last for over a billion tuning cycles, all in a compact package. Options are available for either 100 GHz or 50 GHz channel spacing as well as operation in either the O-band, C-band or L-band wavelength ranges.

• MEMS Compact Tunable Filter (WDM PON)
• MEMS Compact Tunable Filter (Wideband for Noise Suppression)
• MEMS Network Tunable Filter (100 GHz Channel Spacing)
• MEMS Tunable Optical Filter (Type A, 100 GHz Channel Spacing)
• MEMS Tunable Optical Filter (Extended Range, 100 GHz Ch Spacing)
• MEMS Tunable Optical Filter (Type B, 50 GHz Channel Spacing)
• RS-232 Cable Kit (Optional for tunable filters with a control board)

Manually Tunable Optical Filter

DiCon's Manually Tunable optical bandpass filter is used to manually adjust the center wavelength of a narrow optical bandpass filter over a 30nm wavelength range, centered at 1550nm. Adjustment of the center wavelength is accomplished by tilting the bandpass filter with a high precision micrometer.
