Optical Tunable Filters
Electrically Fiber Optic Etalon Tunable Filter – 1nm Linewidth, 50nm Tuning
Based on a proprietary thin film cavity filter technology, we offer Fiber Optic Tunable Filters with central wavelengths of 1060nm, 1310nm, 1550nm, and 2000nm. We are tunable continuously over a wide spectral range of up to 80 nm. The wavelength tuning is actuated by driving a built-in precise stepper motor through the interface of USB or RS232. Our unique high reliability and low insertion loss design present the most cost-effective solution for OEM applications from fiber-optic networks to fiber sensing interrogation. These grating-based tunable filters block the off-bands.

Integration and compatibility
Use these checks to connect Electrically Fiber Optic Etalon Tunable Filter – 1nm Linewidth, 50nm Tuning to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.
- Optical interface and fiber
- Fiber Type: SMF-28, HI1060, PM980, PM1550, SM1950, PM1950, Special · Fiber Cover: Bare fiber, 900um tube, Special
- Specify connector polish and fiber architecture together. FC/PC, FC/APC and SMA interfaces, and single-mode, multimode and polarization-maintaining fibers, impose different return-loss, mode-field and alignment requirements.
- Wavelength and loss budget
- Wavelength: 2295 ± 55nm, 2195 ± 55nm, 2100± 60nm, 2095 ± 55nm, 2050 ± 50nm, 2000± 50nm, 1960± 40nm, 1850± 50nm, 1800 ± 50nm, 1620± 40nm, 1550± 40nm, 1550± 50nm, 1480± 40nm, 1310± 40nm, 1130± 40nm, 1060± 40nm, 1005± 45nm, Special
- Check the Optical Tunable Filters passband, insertion loss, return loss and power handling at the actual source wavelength; a nominal telecom-band label is not a substitute for the configured range.
- Control interface
- Control: USB, RS232
- Match supply voltage, analog or digital command range, connector pinout and default optical state to the instrument interlock. Confirm the unpowered state explicitly — it decides what happens to the link on a power failure.
