Reduced size and weight
The bare Tunable optical filter (BCTF without driver board) measures only 43x11x9.5 mm and is ideal for applications requiring reduced size and weight. The miniature package is well suited for direct mounting on printed circuit boards.
Low power consumption
Our MEMS tunable filters operate with minimal power consumption, leading to energy-efficient operation and reduced heat generation.
Low insertion loss
Our MEMS tunable filters introduce minimal insertion loss, ensuring that the signal strength remains largely intact during transmission.
High Reliability
Our MEMS tunabel filters are renowned for their high reliability and long operational lifetimes.

The Tunable optical filter (TF) is based on MEMS technology and is designed for ITU O, C and L band with 50 GHz or 100 GHz channel spacing. The highly reliable tuning mechanism uses an integrated micro-mirror with switching time below 50 ms and insertion loss below 3 dB.

Working principles of the MEMS Tunable Filter

Sercalo's MEMS Tunable Filter is composed of an optical system where light coming from the input fiber is collimated on a fused silica grating. The grating diffracts the light with a distinct angle for each wavelength. Light is then reflected by a MEMS mirror onto the output collimator which only couples a small fraction of it into the output fiber. By modifying the MEMS mirror tilt angle users can chose the central wavelength of the filter.
