MEMS TUNABLE OPTICAL FILTER TF


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.

Sercalo's MEMS tunable optical filters (TF series) are designed for ITU O, C and L band with 50 GHz or 100 GHz channel spacing. They are based on MEMS technology and use an integrated micro-mirror with switching time below 50 ms and insertion loss below 3 dB. The TF series is available in a standard body size (43 x 11.2 x 9.1 mm) and a miniature body size (19 x 7.6 x 5.9 mm).

Here are some of the key features of the TF series MEMS tunable optical filters:

  • Wide wavelength range: 1260 to 1615 nm 
  • Low insertion loss: 1.5 to 4 dB
  • High channel isolation: >60 dB
  • Fast switching time: <50 ms
  • RoHS compliant

The TF series MEMS tunable optical filters are ideal for a wide range of applications, including:

  • Optical communication systems
  • WDM networks
  • Fiber optic sensors

OVERVIEW

OVERVIEW

Sercalo’s Tunable Filter is composed by an optical system where light coming from the input fiber is collimated on a fused silica grating. The grating diffracts the light with a distinct angle for each wavelength. Light is then reflected by a MEMS mirror onto the output collimator which only couples a small fraction of it into the output fiber. By modifying the MEMS mirror tilt angle user can chose the central wavelength of the filter.

The Tunable Optical Filter 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 Filter component (BCTF variant) 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 component is compliant to Telcordia 1221 reliability standards and RoHS requirements 2015/863/EU.
