Product Name: Variable bandwidth – optical tunable filter
Module code: MTF-VB

Santec AOC Corporation, a leading design and manufacturer of fiber-optic components, has developed a flexible transmission rate compatible variable bandwidth –optical tunable filter (MTF-VB) that can dynamically adjust to the optimal filter bandwidth according to various optical signal spectrum.

1.Background
With the increase in optical communications between data centers, cloud computing, IoT, and the expansion of 5G networks, the data traffic flowing through optical communication networks continues to increase, while the signal bandwidth flowing through optical fibers is also diversifying according to transmission distance and traffic demand.

2.Product overview
The variable bandwidth – optical tunable filter is a compact MEMS-based optical component that removes noise after optical amplification in optical transceivers.　While previous 1st and 2nd generation optical tunable filters could only adjust the transmitted wavelength of optical signals, our newly developed wavelength and bandwidth optical tunable filter (MTF-VB), based on santec's proprietary patented technology, can adjust not only the transmitted wavelength in the range of approximately 40nm but also the transmitted bandwidth from 200GHz to 700GHz (3dB bandwidth).　This is santec’s first compact component product supporting flexible transmission rate ,which enables ASE noise rejection with an optimal filter bandwidth for different optical signal bands from 400Gb/s to 1.2Tb/s (QPSK,16QAM,64QAM,etc).　This product is compatible with SFF (Small Form Factor) industry standard-compliant optical transceivers such as QSFP-DD and CFP2-DCO.The ultra-compact size (9 x 5.5 x 3.5mm) has been achieved to meet the demand for optical transceivers, which are constantly being miniaturized.
