Gain Flattening Filters
Thin films have the advantage over alternative technologies in
that they are passive devices, simple in operation, robust and
very insensitive to changes of temperature. Every EDFA
amplification system has a different gain characteristic,
depending upon both the design and the fiber itself. Designing
a gain flattening thin film filter is a new challenge anytime
the the gain spectrum is significantly changed. Iridian
Spectral Technologies is capable of designing and manufacturing
thin film gain flattening filters to your specifications.
Etalon Filters
The main application of thin film etalon filters is in laser
stabilization in the transmission modules for dense wavelength
division multiplexing (DWDM). They can also be used in
measurement and test equipment.
Iridian's etalon filters are normally supplied to match the ITU
wavelengths and cover 50 wavelengths in the 1525-1565 nm band
and over 40 wavelengths in the longer wavelength L band.
Wavelengths of the supplied filters are accurate to plus or
minus 0.25 nm.
Special orders can be placed to match any required wavelength
within the ranges indicated.
Black Absorber Targets
Black Absorbers are used to provide targets for space vision
systems and could be used in any high light intensity
environment. Black Absorber targets are designed to absorb
light in the spectral region where the human eye is most
sensitive. They have already been in use for several years in
Space Station missions in conjunction with the Canadarm and
Space Vision Systems that are supplied by the Canadian Space
Agency.
Thin films designed by Iridian Spectral Technologies can
withstand the atomic oxygen and survive the hostile environment
that the Shuttle and the Space Station must endure.
Optical Thin Film Filters
Iridian Spectral Technologies manufactures standard and custom
thin film optical filters for UV, visible and near-IR
applications ranging from optical communication to bio-medical
instrumentation such as filters for Spectroscopy (Fluorescence
and Raman), fluorescence scanning microscopy and analysis. In
addition, Iridian custom coats components such as lenses,
prisms, beamsplitters, solid etalons and semiconductor facets.
Filters for telecommunications include: GFF; CWDM; WDM filters;
tri-band (1310-1490-1550) filters; edge-pass filters; wavelength
lockers; tap coupler filters; monotonic filters. Filters for
bio-medical and instrumentation optics include: fluorescence
spectroscopy filters; laser line filters; Raman notch filters;
Raman bandpass filters; Raman edge filters; filters for micro-
optics and laser instrumentation. Iridian also provides coating
services for semiconductor coatings for laser facets as well as
custom design and manufacturing, from prototyping to volume
production.
