Graphical design of millimeter-wave finline bandpass filters

A very simple yet accurate design procedure for the finline bandpass filters at millimeter wavelengths is presented. The technique enables the geometry of finline bandpass filters to be obtained accurately from simple closed-form equations and curves. Using this graphical approach, various millimeter-wave finline bandpass filters have been designed. Results in V-band (50 to 75 GHz) and W-band (75 to 110 GHz) are presented and indicate a good agreement between the calculated and measured performances.     

Angular and power characteristics of noncollinear acousto-optic tunable filters

The angular and the power characteristics of noncollinear acousto-optic tunable filters are investigated both experimentally and theoretically. The dependencies of the acoustic wave frequency, the bandpass width and the diffraction efficiency of the filter are studied as functions of the angle of incidence of the optical wave and of the acoustic signal power density. These dependencies are illustrated and tested on the basis of a realized such a filter based on tellurium dioxide (TeO₂). A good agreement of theory and experiment is demonstrated, which indicates that the approach used can be effective in designing such devices.     

Spectral characteristics of non-collinear acousto-optic tunable filters

The bandpass width and the diffraction efficiency of a non-collinear acousto-optic tunable filter are considered as functions of the optical wavelength for fixed values of the direction of propagation of the optic wave, the length of the acousto-optic interaction and the power density of the controlling RF-signal. A comparison between the calculated and the experimentally measured spectral dependencies is discussed and illustrated from the viewpoint of practical application for a TeO₂ filter. It is shown that in the approximation used, satisfactory agreement can be achieved between the experimental and calculated dependencies.     

Analysis of polarization-independent tunable optical comb filter by cascading MZI and phase modulating Sagnac loop

A novel scheme of tunable optical comb filter constructed by cascading a polarization-swapping MZI and a phase modulating Sagnac loop is proposed. The key features of this comb filter design are its polarization-independence and high speed in wavelength tuning. The wavelength tunability can be readily achieved by incorporating an electro-optic phase modulator into the Sagnac loop. In addition, the filter can be made amplitude adjustable as well. The filter will be desirable for multi-wavelength fiber lasers, multi-channel optical signal processing and optical WDM systems.     

Chebychev Response of Thin Film Optical Filters

The power reflection coefficient (reflectance) of linear, periodically homogenous, isotropic, nonabsorbing stack filters is derived using full wave analysis. The well-known ABCD characteristic matrix is used to assess the spectral response of the stack filters. Adopting this method requires a huge number of matrix multiplications as the number of layers increases. An alternative approach of evaluating the whole matrix is suggested which is shown to save computational time. Band reject response far from ideal characteristics, due to the presence of unwanted ripples surrounding the stopband, is obtained. Equating these ripples without changing the length of the structure is undertaken by varying some design parameters related to the layers constituting the filter. Namely, the index of refraction and the physical thickness of individual layers are used as optimization variables. This process requires evaluating the derivative of the reflectance with respect to each design variable while leaving other parameters unchanged. The sensitivity of the derivatives to various design parameters is also addressed, which is sometimes required in manufacturing multilayered dielectric thin films.     

Fabrication of a binary-phase-only filter (BPOF) on transparency film

A novel method is employed to provide a quick and convenient means for converting a computer generated binary-phase-only filter (BPOF) into a representative optical element that can be tested in the laboratory. Intensity mapped BPOFs are generated using commercial transparency films and later the investigation extends to silver halide emulsions and photopolymers. Our results indicate that this can be a useful process with future applications for optical correlators and optical processors. The generated BPOFs can be made available not only for model verification, but also for direct fabrication of filter elements in an optical system — thus eliminating the need for more expensive alternatives.

State-of-the-art performances from Ka-band (26.5 to 40 GHz) to D-band (110 to 170 GHz) have been obtained. Agreement between the measured and calculated results was also achieved.     

Stable all-fiber photonic temporal differentiator using a long-period fiber grating interferometer

A novel configuration of all-fiber photonic temporal differentiator optimized for tens-of-gigahertz processing bandwidth is suggested and experimentally demonstrated.

Predistortion techniques for synthesizing coupled microring filters with loss

A general method based on the predistortion technique is presented for determining the optimum coupling parameters of multiple-coupled microring filters in the presence of known uniform resonator loss. The technique involves predistorting the filter transfer function by shifting its poles and zeros to compensate for loss in the microring resonators due to material absorption, surface roughness scattering, coupling loss and bending loss. It is shown that by sacrificing some in-band insertion loss, both the amplitude and group delay responses of the filter can be recovered when loss is present. Application of the method to synthesizing lossy microring filters in both the digital z-domain and analog s-domain will be presented. The proposed technique is general in that it can be applied to both amplitude and phase filters constructed of coupled microresonators in the most general two-dimensional coupling topology.

When used in series and with a specific optical system, good rejection of unwanted radiation was achieved.
