Optical Tunable Filters
ITU Channel Tunable Filter SWDM, CWDM, WDM (100GHz), DWDM (50GHz)
Our ITU Channel Tunable Filter provides computer-selectable wavelength passband control over telecom ITU grid channels through a USB/RS232 interface with a user-friendly GUI. Configurations are available for up to 22 CWDM channels, 80 DWDM channels at 100 GHz spacing, and 96 DWDM channels at 50 GHz spacing. The design employs passive WDM components to ensure excellent channel accuracy, low distortion, and high-fidelity spectral profiles.

System integration
Integration and compatibility
Use these checks to connect ITU Channel Tunable Filter SWDM, CWDM, WDM (100GHz), DWDM (50GHz) 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 · Fiber Cover: 900um loose 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 Spacing: CWDM, WDM100GHz, DWDM50GHz
- 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.
