» Product Description |
| |
GouMax full-band tunable optical filter (TOF) product is designed using its proprietary micro-optics and tunable technology. It is a 2-port voltage-controlled fiber-optic device with UART (RS232)/USB communication interface. The filter passband shape can be either Gaussian or flat-top. As schematically shown in Figure 1 below, when multiple DWDM channels are injected to the input port, the tunable filter selects one target channel to the output port and blocks all other channels. If the input is a wide-band spectrum, the tunable filter will select a target band for output and reject the rest band of spectrum.
GouMax full-band TOF modules support 400 nm range within 1250~1650 nm range. Both Gaussian and flat-top profiles are available.
