How a Filter is Specified
In order to achieved a desired optical functionality in an application, it is critical that key use parameters are communicated. Understanding the filter function and use conditions allows the filter design team to create a filter specification that will ensure the...Filter specs vs Functional specs – the pitfall of double margining
In designing a filter solution, the filter manufacturer takes the values requested by the user and adds additional design margin to account for both functional effects (such as wavelength shift due to angle variation, thermal induced wavelength shift, etc) and filter...How Premium GFFs Improve EDFA Performance And Optimize Module Design
