  • Abstract
    All-fiber acoustooptic tunable filters (AOTFs) with bandwidth as small as 2.8 nm were fabricated from highly uniform, tapered optical fiber. These filters have typical excess loss of 0.02 dB, greater than 20 dB extinction, are polarization insensitive, and have the smallest bandwidth-length products reported to date.
