Santec, a leading design and manufacturer of fiber-optic components, sub-systems and optical instruments, announces the release of a tunable notch filter that allows both wavelength tuning and bandwidth varied simultaneously and independently.
A unique mirror design and accurate tuning mechanism achieves excellent optical properties and filter profiles suitable for 40Gb/s and above transmission testing, noise filtering, pulse shaping and all-optical wavelength conversion applications.

The OTF-960 features a notch-type filter that is continuously tunable over either the C or L-band. The bandwidth is independently adjustable from 0.18 to 6.0nm (22.5 to 750GHz).

The product has been displayed at the ECOC 2008 exhibition held at the Brussels Expo Centre in Belgium, September 22 to 24.
