Description
The Micron Optics FP-TF2 Fiber Fabry-Perot (FFP) tunable filter is a specialized filter based on the all-fiber Fabry-Perot etalon technology. The FFP tunable filter passes wavelengths that are equal to integer fractions of the cavity (etalon) length; All other wavelengths are attenuated according to the Airy function.
