Optical Tunable Filters
MEMS Fiber Optic Tunable Filter – 0.8nm Linewidth, 80nm Tuning
We offer Fiber Optic MEMS Tunable Filters with central wavelengths of 1060nm, 1310nm, 1550nm, and 2000nm. It is tunable continuously over a spectral range of up to 80nm at a speed of about 80ms. The wavelength tuning is actuated by driving a rotating MEMS mirror that is optically coupled with a grating and a dual fiber collimator. It is conveniently controlled with user-friendly GUI and control interfaces of USB or RS232.

System integration
Integration and compatibility
Use these checks to connect MEMS Fiber Optic Tunable Filter – 0.8nm Linewidth, 80nm 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: 1528~1610nm, 1560~1640nm, 1960 ± 40nm, 1620 ± 40nm, 1480 ± 40nm, 1395 ± 55nm, 1310 ± 40nm, 1230 ± 50nm, 1145 ± 45nm, 1130 ± 40nm, 1060 ± 40nm, 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, None
- 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.
