Description
FFP-I
The Fiber Fabry-Perot Interferometer (FFP-I) family of products is based on a fixed interferometer design with smooth, uniformly spaced transmission peaks. The FFP-I consists of a lensless plane Fabry-Perot interferometer with a single-mode optical fiber waveguide between two highly reflective multilayer mirrors. The FFP-I is manufactured with fiber pigtails so no alignment or mode-matching is required. The distances between peaks (FSR) may be fit exactly to customer specifications and a TEC package is available for thermal stability and minor adjustments of the bandpass frequency or wavelength.

FFP-ITU
An FFP-ITU is a specially constructed FFP-I that aligns to the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) grid with 25, 50 or 100 GHz spacing. Grid spacings are available with tolerances of +/-0.5%, +/-0.2%, +/-0.1%, or +/-0.05% for more exact alignment with the ITU grid. The FFP-ITU has a built-in thermo electric controller (TEC) package for thermal stability, and can be controlled by Micron Optics' TEC controller.

picoWave®
The picoWave® is Micron Optics' patented multi-wavelength reference that enables real time wavelength calibration to picometer accuracy. Combining the uniform spacing of the FFP-I, a wavelength marker of a fiber Bragg Grating, and a built-in TEC for thermal stability, the picoWave® makes an ideal calibrated wavelength reference.



TEC Controller
The Micron Optics picoWave® Controller is designed to be used in conjunction with the Micron Optics' picoWave®, FFP-ITU and Fiber Fabry-Perot Interferometer (FFP-I), where temperature stability is critical for wavelength reference stability.
