Abstract
The push to develop 100 GHz and smaller bandwidth WDM filters is at demanding levels. Currently, 200 GHz is the standard bandwidth for multilayer interference coatings with high efficiencies, and enormous processing effort is going into the development of standard 100 GHz filters. This paper outlines a simple design that will reduce bandwidth up to 40% when applied to 200 GHz bandpass filters. This design method can also be used in existing 100 GHz designs to achieve even smaller bandwidths.
