چکیده

Solid-spaced filters are composed of one or several thin wafers of excellent optical quality acting as Fabry-Perot spacer layers. We study the different steps of the design and the manufacture of filters following dense-wavelength-division-multiplexing specifications. The design method of such filters requires a tight synergy between numerical simulations and experimental characterizations to correct possible thickness errors. Experimental results of the manufacture and characterization of a three-cavity narrow-bandpass filter and of an interleaver filter are given.

Tunable thin-film filters: review and perspectives

The development of tunable filters is a key point for the ability of optical telecommunication networks to comply with the continuous evolution of the service providers needs. Among the numerous technologies which can be used to achieve narrow bandpass filtering devices, we concentrate our analysis on Thin-Film Interference Coatings and compare the principles, performances and use constraints o...

Tunable double-cavity solid-spaced bandpass filter.

In this paper, we introduce the principle and demonstrate the feasibility of a tunable multiple-cavity solid-spaced bandpass filter for WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) applications, which uses a vernier effect since the two cavities have different thermal sensitivities. A set of specific wavelengths can be addressed in the whole C-Band by using temperature changes less than 100 degrees C...

Electrically coupled MEMS bandpass filters Part II. Without coupling element

This paper, the second of two parts, introduces electrostatic coupling of micromechanical resonators for implementation of high-order narrow-bandwidth bandpass filters. The concept of electrostatic coupling of closely spaced microresonators and its electromechanical modeling is presented. Electrostatic coupling of resonators does not require any distinct physical coupling elements. The electros...

Simulation of errors in the monitoring of narrow bandpass filters.

Narrow bandpass filters are extremely sensitive to errors in the optical thickness of the layers, but they have an extraordinary inherent capability to compensate for these errors. Graphical examples of errors of differing magnitudes and types with and without compensation are shown with computer simulation of the optical monitoring techniques. This allows the estimation of what magnitude of er...

Ultra-narrow bandpass filters based on volume Bragg grating technologies

Free space optical communication between movable platforms, especially communication with non-cooperative targets, requires detecting low intensity signals in conditions of multiple sources of contaminating signals. In this paper, we review recent achievements in ultra-narrow bandpass filters based on volume Bragg gratings (VBGs) recorded in the bulk of photo-thermo-refractive glass. The new ty...
