Abstract
We present a simple, efficient and easy to fabricate single-multi-single
mode (SMS) fiber-based tunable bandwidth optical bandpass/bandstop filter.
The device exploits the transmission characteristics of an SMS structure
near its critical wavelength. Using both temperature and strain tuning, we
show that the device can be switched between band pass to band stop modes
and that the filter bandwidth in each mode can be dynamically tuned. We
present a theoretical analysis of the observed behavior and obtain excellent
agreement with the experimental observations.
