Wavelength Suppression Filter – WaveBlock

Samuel Gouin

Product Line Manager

The WaveBlock series of wavelength suppression filters are advanced band-stop all-fiber filters designed for precise optical control. These filters effectively block the transmission of specific wavelengths over a designated bandwidth while maintaining exceptionally high transmission outside the rejection band. Utilizing indie’s exclusive tilted Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) filter technology, the WSF cleverly guides unwanted signals into the fiber cladding for safe extraction.

What sets the WaveBlock series apart is its unique ability to withstand kilowatts of power, as the signal remains within the fiber throughout the filtering process. This robust design makes the WSF ideal for high-power applications. The versatility of these filters extends to various fields, including tandem or in-band pumping, spectroscopy, biomedical imaging, microscopy, and other life sciences or scientific applications.

With its innovative approach to wavelength management, the WaveBlock series offers a powerful solution for selective wavelength attenuation.


Key Features and Benefits

Power Handling:
With its all-fiber design, the WSF can reliably operate at power largely exceeding alternative solutions.

Highly Efficient:
Low insertion losses for highly efficient filtering and lower laser costs.

Value:
With its all-fiber design and low insertion losses, the WSF offer lower costs and considerably simplifies system design.

Reliable:
Long-term dependability is critical for industrial or scientific laser systems, and indie has deployed thousands of FBG units over a decade.

Partnership:
indie will work through the entire product development process, from prototyping to mass production.
