Adjustable optical filter WaveShapers

programmablecompacttunable

Overview
The WaveShaper M-Series provides programmable optical filtering and switching solutions packaged as an OEM module for embedding into third-party equipment and instrumentation. It enables precise control of center wavelength, bandwidth, spectral shape, dispersion and attenuation for communications, pulsed laser systems and optical sensors.

Key Features

• LCoS technology with no moving parts
• Arbitrary attenuation shape and spectral shaping
• Attenuation control up to 35 dB
• Widely tunable filter bandwidth
• Integrated webserver for platform-independent control and simplified integration

M-Series for OEM integration
The M-Series packaging is optimized for OEM embedding: compact module form factor, standard interfaces and control APIs to simplify mechanical, electrical and software integration into third-party devices.
