Tunable Filters
![Page 3: Lecture 5. Tunable Filters Δf defines as the frequency difference between the lowest- and the highest-frequency channels and f as the spacing between](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110101/56649ef65503460f94c0a7a8/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Tunable FiltersΔf defines as the frequency difference between the
lowest- and the highest-frequency channels and f as the spacing between channels.
The maximum number of equally spaced channels can be calculated as Nmax = Δf / f .
The access time is the speed which a tunable filter can be reset from one frequency to another. This should be in the unit of microsecond.
The filter’s transfer function T(f) is not generally equal to unity due to its internal losses.
![Page 4: Lecture 5. Tunable Filters Δf defines as the frequency difference between the lowest- and the highest-frequency channels and f as the spacing between](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110101/56649ef65503460f94c0a7a8/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Tunable FiltersGood filters should be independent to light
polarizations. Tunable-filters have an advantage over the coherent-detection due to that.
With the help of lithography, the low cost filter can be fabricated, but the fiber loss attachment exists. However, with other methods, high-cost processes are involved and that is the great barrier to develop such a technology.
