Gradient Output Couplers and Filters

A special machine setup is required to ma­nufacture gradient optics that allow the central wavelength to change with its position on the substrate. So it is possible to change the opti­cal properties without any beam displacement by shifting a rectangular plate across the beam.

Given tolerances show the minimum variation on a standard substrate 50x27 mm if the plate is shifted within about 40 mm (right-middle-left position).

Gradient Pass Filter GP
The incoming light passes through in one position and will be blocked in the other one, available as long pass GLP and short pass GSP.

If a GLP and GSP are used in combination, the resulting bandwidth can be varied in a large wavelength area.

Gradient Notch Filter GNF
Transmits one wavelength and blocks another one in left position and reversely in right position.
