Tunable filter functions of modules block is 3. internal, through the flashlight that filtering again by the output optical fibre of tunable filter 2. export for
Other functions module uses such as photodiode.
The several frequently seen implementation of optical channel watch-dog is as follows：
MEMS Grating flexibility ratios are relatively high, and wavelength resolution and noise isolation degree are in the shape of medium preference
State, wherein wavelength resolution are somewhat short of.
Chinese Patent Application No. is that 201310116824 document discloses a kind of tunable filter based on grating, is one
Plant typical MEMS grating type tunable filters, including optical fiber collimator, beam-expanding system, grating, speculum；

Also it is obvious.On the one hand MEMS mirror being placed into behind grating can cause the size of MEMS mirror very big, even if
A shrink beam prism, but effect still very big and that wavelength dispersion can be reduced can be added before MEMS mirror as described in it；Separately
On the one hand patent requirements input is general single mode fiber, is output as multimode fibre or less fundamental mode optical fibre, and this is clearly by analysis
Run counter to and improve wavelength resolution, be inappropriate.

Thinking, i.e., do not do to tunable filter structure obvious change in itself, only do some simple adjustment in periphery is carried with reaching
Rise the purpose of tunable filter performance.But, the patent, will certainly be to the Insertion Loss of tunable filter using the thinking repeatedly passed through
There is discount at double, such as the insertion loss of a tunable filter is 3dB originally, using insertion loss after the patented technology extremely
I haven't seen you for ages increases to 6dB, but the spectral bandwidth for being compressed is not obvious.
