Measurements on Passive Tunable Optical Filters for DWDM
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract Measurements on a passive optical fibre tunable filter are presented. The device is based on a loop mirror in a ring resonator. The loop mirror allows tuning by changing the coupling coefficient of a coupler. The novel fiter structure allows planar optical integration for having higher free spectral ranges. Novel and simple design equations for the fiter parameters and the tuning process are reported. There is a good agreement between measurements and theory.

Acousto-optic Tunable Switch for WDM Applications
polarization diversity AOTF in the passive, or bar, state, and (d) in the active, or cross, state. Abstract: An acousto-optic tunable switch (AOTS) can provide highly selective wavelength switching and wavelength routing in optical DWDM systems. This paper presents the basic concept of AOTS and a simple analysis of the phase mismatch and wavelength deviation in WDM systems using acousto-optic t...
متن کامل32-channel Optical Interleaver/deinterlea- Ver Using Fibonacci Quasi-periodic Struc- Tures
The design of Interleaver/Deinterleavers using Fibonacciclass quasistructures is proposed. We introduce an optical passive configuration composed of Fibonacci quasistructures and circulators which acts as interleaver and deinterleaver. Odd and even channels are interleaved/deinterleaved with dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) multichannel filter based on Fibonacci quasi-periodic stru...

متن کاملAnalysis of imperfections in a micromachined tunable-cavity interferometer
An alternative to a classical wavelength interferometer (an array of hand-assembled etalons consisting of two semitransparent mirrors separated by a fixed-cavity) is the implementation of wide band tunable filter using Micro-ElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS) technology. This approach will allow a single tunable device to replace an array of fixed-cavity filters reducing cost and parts. MEMS tech...
