The WaveShaper family of Programmable Optical Processors provide a range of programmable optical filtering and switching options for optical R&D and production test applications. Based on Finisar's high resolution, solid-state Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) optical engine, the WaveShaper family provides extremely fine control of filter characteristics, including center wavelength, bandwidth, shape and, for WaveShaper 1000 and 4000, dispersion and attenuation. The WaveShaper range includes a Channel Selector (WaveShaper 100S), Programmable Optical Filter (WaveShaper 1000S) and Multiport Optical Processor (WaveShaper 4000S). OEM versions of the WaveShaper platform are also available for embedded applications.

The precise control of channel or filter wavelength, bandwidth, shape and, for WaveShaper 1000 and 4000, phase and amplitude, makes the WaveShaper family a uniquely powerful tool for optical R&D and production test.

The WaveShaper S-Series are available as either a Programmable Optical Filter (WS1000S - top) or a Multiport Optical Processor (WS 4000S - bottom), with both C- and L-band versions available.

WaveShaper Examples

• Programmable Band-pass Filters
• Attenuation Control
• Comb- and Band-stop Filters
• Dispersion Control
• Arbitrary Filter Shapes (User Configured Filters)
• Note that all these filter shapes can be used as switching transfer functions within the WaveShaper 4000S

Programmable Band-Pass Filter

• Centre Frequency programmable in 1 GHz steps across C- (or L-) band
• Filter Bandwidth programmable from 10 GHz – 5 THz in 1 GHz steps

Filter bandwidth 10 - 100 GHz in 10 GHz steps | Filter bandwidth 10 – 33 GHz
