Abstract
Multi-cavity optical filter design is approached from a digital filter perspective using Z transforms. Particular attention is given to allpass filters, which allow any phase response to be approximated and which find application in dispersion compensation as well as building blocks for bandpass filters used for channel or band selection in WDM communication systems.
