Accuwave will develop a complete line of narrow-band holographic Bragg grating (HBG) filters with bandwidths ranging from a few Angstroms to sub-picometers. The filters will cover wavelengths ranging from 300 nm to infrared. These filters will be distinguished by high throughput (>60%) and excellent out-of-band rejection properties. They will have considerably smaller dimensions, lower weight, and lower cost than other filters with comparable performance.
Potential Commercial Applications: Free space optical communications systems for commercial satellite systems, terrestrial wireless links, LIDAR and remote sensing receivers. In addition, the filters can be used in instrumentation and astronomical research filters.
