The global tunable filters market is estimated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. Multiple liquid crystal variable retarders filter stages are protected in a temperature-controlled container in a tunable optical filter. Due to the birefringence of the liquid crystal variable retarders being a function of temperature as well as voltage, temperature management is critical. As a result, the entire assembly is temperature-controlled to ensure that calibration and switching speed are not affected by environmental conditions. This results in the best portion of the energy consistency over the clear aperture.

Tunable Filters help in the complete examination of a spectrum by changing the frequency associated with different wavelength ranges. Due to their excellent image quality, liquid crystal tunable filters (LCTFs) are widely employed in machine vision applications, including charge-coupled devices. Additionally, the LCTF employs liquid crystal elements that may be electrically regulated to pick a specific wavelength of light for transmission through the filter while excluding other wavelengths. Tunable filters are being more widely used in applications such as fluorescence microscopy, hyper spectrum imaging, and spectroscopy, which is projected to open up new potential for the global tunable filter market.

For Instance, In September 2020, Pole/Zero Corporation, a subsidiary of Microwave Products Group and Dover, was awarded a $66 million contract for the procurement of antenna interface units and mounting trays, technical data, spares, and repair of repairable for the Navy and the governments of the UK, Norway, New Zealand, and South Korea for the P-8A Poseidon Lots 9, 10, and 11 full-rate production aircraft. Work will take place in West Chester, Ohio, and will be completed by September 2022.
