WaveShapers – Programmable Optical Filters
Choose from our family of high-performance programmable optical filtering and switching solutions optimized for optical R&D and production test applications.
WaveShapers use our solid-state Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) optical engine to control parameters including center wavelength, bandwidth, shape, dispersion, and attenuation. Applications include communications, pulsed (medical, industrial) lasers, and optical sensors.
WaveShapers – Product Family Overview
WaveShapers now include a Web service API for remote (Ethernet) control, as well as DLL for backwards compatibility with earlier Windows-based WaveShaper applications.
