Abstract :
A tunable micromachined Fabry-Perot interferometer is described. The device has been used successfully as a narrow-band filter, providing isolation between two channels operating in the 1.3 mu m optical fibre transmission window, the first system application of a silicon Fabry-Perot filter.
