The FIBERPRO LE2000 Lightwave Equalizer is designed to create programmable optical filter shapes for optical testing, measurement, and characterization. It allows users to control center frequency, passband, phase, and attenuation level across narrow spectrum slices centered on the ITU-T grid.
Based on High Definition Liquid Crystal technology, the LE2000 uses an all-LC design with no moving parts. This helps provide repeatable optical performance, stable operation, and fast response times compared with filter systems that rely on moving optical or mechanical tuning elements.
The LE2000 is suitable for optical laboratories, telecom and datacom research, wavelength-selective testing, filter shape emulation, channel equalization, and photonic component characterization. It is available in one-channel and two-channel configurations, with C-band or L-band options depending on the required wavelength range.
