Manually Tunable Optical Filter

DiCon's Manually Tunable optical bandpass filter is used to manually adjust the center wavelength of a narrow optical bandpass filter over a 30nm wavelength range, centered at 1550nm (C-band option) and 1580nm (L-band option). Adjustment of the center wavelength is accomplished by tilting the bandpass filter with a high precision micrometer.
