TUNABLE OPTICAL FILTERS
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.
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 withstands rugged environments and is well suited for direct mounting on printed circuit boards.
An interface board with UART and I2C/SMBus is also available.
The Tunable optical filter component is compliant to Telcordia 1221 reliability standards and RoHS requirements 2015/863/EU.
