Optical filter wavefront distortion: out-of-band to in-band predictions and the effect of the illumination source bandwidth. Read or download the full article in PDF format.
Technical Notes
Filter specs vs Functional specs – the pitfall of double margining
In designing a filter solution, the filter manufacturer takes the values requested by the user and adds additional design margin to account for both...
Band Pass Filter Tutorial
Band Pass Filters (BPFs) are used to pass (transmit) a range of wavelengths and to block (reflect) other wavelength on either side of the bandpass. The region of high transmittance is known…
Etalon Tutorial
A Solid Etalon Filter (SEF) is used to select a periodically spaced frequency grid from a broad spectral range. The key specifications
Single Cavity Filter Tutorial
The Single Cavity Filter (SCF) is used to select a single frequency from a broad spectral range. SCFs are typically used for…
Linear Transmittance Filter Tutorial
Linear Transmittance Filter (LTF) has a transmittance that is changing linearly over a specified wavelength range. LTFs are typically used for…
CWDM Filter Tutorial
Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) filters are designed to multiplex and de-multiplex wavelength signals in metropolitan, access and enterprise networks and for Cable TV applications. In addition…
Tap Coupler – Beamsplitter Tutorial
Tap couplers filters and beamsplitters are used to reflect a specific percentage of incident light over a broad wavelength range and for a specified angle of incidence. Beamsplitters and tap couplers can be specified…
Gain Flattening Filter (GFF) Tutorial
Gain Flattening Filter (GFFs), also known as gain equalizing filters, are used to flatten or smooth out unequal signal intensities over…
Large Format Narrow Bandpass Filters – A Uniformity Challenge
1 Introduction Large format (>100 mm diameter), narrow bandpass filters (NBPF) are required in many fields. Applications requiring a large...
