Tunable Optical Filters Liquid Crystal Filters: An electrically controlled liquid crystal elements to select

Tunable Optical Filters Liquid Crystal Filters: An electrically controlled liquid crystal elements to select a specific visible wavelength of light for transmission through the filter at the exclusion of all others. AO Tunable Filters: The AOTF range of acousto-optic devices are solid state optical filters. The wavelength of the diffracted light is selected according to the frequency of the RF drive signal.
