Santec AOC develops the 50 GHz ultra-narrow linewidth MEMS tunable filter “MTF-Narrow”
- Opening up new possibilities in precision optical filtering, from high-speed communications to quantum optics -

Santec AOC Corporation (Headquarters: Komaki City, Aichi Prefecture; hereinafter “Santec AOC”) has developed a 50 GHz ultra-narrow linewidth MEMS tunable filter (MTF-Narrow) that combines outstanding reliability, precision, and power-saving capabilities. This cutting-edge filter is designed for applications such as coherent transceivers, optical channel monitors (OCMs), and optical spectrum analyzers (OSAs), and will bring innovation to the optical communications and photonics fields.
With the growing demand for high-performance filtering in 400G+ optical transceivers, data center interconnect (DCI), 5G networks, and IoT applications, Santec AOC 's MTF is expected to be used in a wide range of fields beyond telecom, such as space communications, laser spectroscopy, quantum optics, and precision sensing. MTF-Narrow's compact design makes it easy to integrate into space-constrained systems, while its ultra-narrow 50 GHz linewidth achieves excellent signal quality, making it an ideal solution for both communications and sensing.

Product name: Narrowband tunable filter
Model name: MTF-Narrow

Now in its third generation, Santec AOC's MTF combines cutting-edge optical technology with automation to set new standards in optical filtering to support high-speed communications and advances in science and technology.
