Product catalog summary
Applications
  • Spectrum Scanning
  • Wavelength Locking
Description

The Micron Optics FFP-Controller is an electronic piezoelectric actuator driver and optical signal processor designed for the FFP Tunable Filter or Scanning Interferometer. It supports multiple operation modes, including manual DC voltage driving, manual DC + AC voltage driving, and automatic wavelength locking to a laser input source via a closed phase lock loop. It is suitable for both new users and advanced research in tunable filters.

Filter Controllers, FFP-C-1

ooooo oooooc Tunable Filter Controller FFP-C i°o8! • Spectrum Scanning • Wavelength Locking The Micron Optics FFP-Controller is an electronic piezoelectric actuator driver and optical signal processor specially designed for the FFP Tunable Filter (TF orTF2) or Scanning Interfer- ometer. The Micron Optics FFP-C can be used in several modes of operation. • Scan or dither mode capability • Scan mode > 50V (> 4 FSR range) • Built-in photodetector with FC/APC input (other inputs available) • Digital voltmeter for piezoelectric trans- ducer monitoring • Rear BNC outputs for oscilloscope moni- Bias voltage control for any filter • Automatic wavelength locking with filters Manual DC Voltage Driver (bias control only) Manual DC + AC Voltage Driver (bias, amplitude and frequency controls) Automatic Wavelength Locking to Laser Input Source (via a closed phase lock loop) The FFP-C is an excellent tool for first time users of fiber Fabry-Perot filters to become familiar with filter technology and operations. It also can be used as a lab bench tool in the research of advanced capabilities of tunable filters. TUNED Products displaying the "Micron Optics Tuned" logo include Micron Optics tunable technologies insuring high quality and performance.
