Tunable Filter - Page 2 of 2

Mini Manual Etalon-Based Narrowly Tunable Fiber Optic Filters

Agiltron offers Miniature Fiber Optic Tunable Filters featuring polarization insensitivity, low loss, and low cost with central wavelengths of 1060nm, 1310nm, 1550nm, and 2000nm. They are tunable continuously over a wide spectral range of up to 80 nm. The wavelength tuning is made by manually rotating a screw. A position locking screw is incorporated. The center wavelength and the bandwidth can be customized in accordance with the requirements. High average power handling up to 10W is available. Agiltron’s unique high reliability and low insertion loss design presents a most cost-effective solution for OEM applications from fiber lasers, optic networks, fiber sensing systems.

Electrically Tunable Optical Filters – 1nm Linewidth

Based on a proprietary thin film cavity filter technology, Agiltron offers 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.

Electrically Tunable Fiber Optic Filter – 0.25nm Linewidth

Agiltron’s Electrically Tunable Grating-Based Fiber Optic Filter provides a simple way to adjust the center wavelength of narrow band over wide band. Wavelength tuning is actuated by driving a built-in precise stepper motor through the interface of USB or RS232.
Based on our proprietary optics, Agiltron offers extremely low insertion loss, high stability, polarization-independent operation, and high off-band suppression. It is tunable continuously over a wide spectral range. The device presents the most cost-effective solution for OEM applications from fiber optic networks to fiber sensing interrogation.

Fabry-Perot Fiber Optic Filter – 0.1nm

The FPTF Fiber Fabry-Perot Tunable Filter features a narrow linewidth of ~0.1nm, a low loss of <0.3dB, wide tuning range of ~100nm. It is based on a fiber tip gap etalon cavity configuration that is movable by a piezoelectric actuator. We offer three centered wavelengths of 1060nm, 1310nm, and 1550nm. The device is vibration-insensitive. The performance of FPTF is a trade-off between the parameters; for example, if select 0.1nm linewidth, then the tuning range is only 10nm. The FPTF is a cost-effective solution for wavelength scanning applications with a speed up to 1kHz. The device is drifting that requires feedback control to stabilize. We offer a full-function controller with a user-friendly GUI and interfaces of USB or RS232.

Fiber Optical Electric-Field Sensing System

We’s Photonic Electric Field Sensing System (PEFS) is an instrument that optically measures the electric field. It integrates a fiber optic E-field sensor probe, a laser, a photo-receiver, an amplifier module, and associated electronics. The probe connects to the system via two fibers. The sensor system covers a broad frequency range from 10MHz to 40 GHz. The E-field intensity is proportional to the readout signal. The amplifier gains are adjustable to optimize the sensitivity and the dynamic ranges. The E-field frequency information can be obtained by connecting to a spectrum analyzer or a frequency-tunable filter. A multichannel system is available with the configurations of either switching among the sensor heads or simultaneously reading all heads at once using independent laser and detector sets. The fiber optic EOFS and PEFS form an E-field sensor system that provides advanced attributes of fast response, extremely high damage threshold exceeding 5MV/m, high fidelity with little disturbance to the E-field, and remote sensing capability.
