Abstract

As single mode fiber optic sensors become more complex there is an increasing need for efficient low loss components that are compatible with optical fibers. In this paper we investigate two methods of constructing in-line fiber optic channel dropping filters with bandwidths in the range 7 nm to 40 nm and insertion losses <EQ 0.2 dB. Both devices exhibit a degree of thermal tunability.
