How the monitoring curve is affected by the thermal shift of a filter during deposition.

The thermal shift of dense-wavelength-division-multiplexing (DWDM) filters that is caused by nonconstant temperature during fabrication invokes a spectrum shift and an error in the optical thickness of the layer before the matching layer. The relation between the thermal shift and the optical thickness of the layer before the matching layer was calculated. Five kinds of narrow-bandpass filters were fabricated, and their thermal shifts were measured and compared with the theoretical model. By using this technique, we were able to predict the thermal shift of DWDM filters from the abnormal behavior of the layer before the matching layer during deposition.

Influence of monitor passband width on the layer thickness determination during deposition of a dense-wavelength-division-multiplexing filter.

The monitor passband width of an optical monitor is an important parameter for the fabrication of a dense-wavelength-division-multiplexing (DWDM) filter. The peak insertion loss and transmittance of one-cavity narrow-bandpass filters (NBPFs) were analyzed by using different passband widths. The simulation monitoring curves of the last layer of the first, second, third, and fourth cavities of a five-cavity DWDM filter with different monitor passband widths were investigated. The last layer of each cavity is very sensitive to the monitor passband width, showing that the monitor passband width of an optical monitor should be less than half the designed passband width. This analysis demonstrates the successful fabrication of a five-cavity DWDM filter.

Chirped-cavity dispersion-compensation filter design.

A new basic structure of a dispersive-compensation filter, called a chirped-cavity dispersion-compensator (CCDC) filter, was designed to offer the advantages of small ripples in both reflectance and group-delay dispersion (GDD). This filter provides a high dispersion compensation, like the Gires-Tournois interferometer (GTI) filter, and a wide working bandwidth, like the chirped mirror (CM). The structure of the CCDC is a cavity-type Fabry-Perot filter with a spacer layer (2 mH or 2 mL) and a chirped high reflector. The CCDC filter can provide a negative GDD of -50 fs2 over a bandwidth of 56 THz with half the optical thickness of the CM or the GTI.

Coating uniformity improvement for a dense-wavelength-division-multiplexing filter by use of the etching effect.

The uniformity of optical narrow-bandpass filters for dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) has been improved by control of the coating parameters of electron guns and the ion source. The optical film was deposited by the electron gun and was etched by the ion source during the ion-assisted deposition process. The uniformity of the coating of a 100 GHz DWDM filter is better than +/- 0.003% over a circular area of 50 mm in diameter when such an etching process is used.
