Congratulations on the purchase of your Micron Optics tunable filter.  Our patented, 
high performance filter incorporates the highest optical and mechanical resolution 
available while maintaining the most reliable all-fiber platform.  
 
This document was prepared for first-time users of the FFP-TF2.  Additional critical 
information can be found online at www.micronoptics.com. 
  
As a first time user, you should find this handbook valuable in helping you get the 
most out of your filter as soon as possible.  System designers requiring a more in-
depth understanding of filter operation and characteristics may find our
