Micron Optics announces new line of Fabry-Perot tunable filters

Atlanta - Micron Optics, Inc. announces the release of a new generation of Fabry-Perot tunable filters (FFP-TF2). The new design provides improved etalon alignment for stable long-term, high reliability, and Telcordia-qualified performance at a more attractive price. Several standard low-cost configurations (below $1,000 in volume) are readily available for quick delivery. Custom high performance multi-band configurations are also available for special uses including sensing, biotech, and scientific applications. Options available include full-band tuning from 1260nm to 1620nm along with the largest finesse range in the industry (from finesse 10 to 16,000). While the new line is not a direct replacement for the original FFP-TF style (due to drive voltage and packaging differences), these new filters are now more suitable in many cost sensitive applications.
