Abstract: The present disclosure provides, among other aspects, a technique, employed in a system and method, for monitoring a state of a tunable optical filter, typically a MEMS tunable filter such as a Fabry-Perot filter. The technique utilizes application of an actuation voltage signal characterized by a first component configured for causing a movement of a movable optical member of the tunable filter and a second component configured for being responsive for each given state of the tunable filter, i.e each optical gap results in a different response of the second component. The response of the second component to the state of the tunable filter, i.e. its variation profile from the original applied second component of the voltage signal is being indicative of the state of the tunable filter.

Abstract: An optical unit that includes a lens and a frame that is configured to support the lens; wherein the lens has a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of a first value; wherein the frame has a CTE of a second value; wherein the first value differs from the second value; and wherein at least one of the lens and the frame comprises a flexible interface for compensating for differences between thermal expansions of the lens and of the frame.

Abstract: An opto-mechanical unit that comprises a tunable filter, a holder that surrounds the tunable filter, and mechanically-damping and gluing gel; wherein the holder is spaced apart from the tunable filter; wherein the mechanically-damping and gluing gel surrounds the tunable filter and is attached to the holder and to the tunable filter; and wherein the holder comprises a camera interface that (a) defines a first inner space, and (b) introduces a gap between the tunable filter and the camera interface.

Abstract: A tunable filter that may include a pair of optical components, wherein there is an optical gap between the pair of optical components; and a pair of actuating elements that are configured, once supplied with at least one actuating signal, to be positioned at an actuation gap from each other and to define the optical gap; and wherein the optical gap is substantially smaller than the actuation gap.
