Proposal of optically tunable and reconfigurable multi-channel bandstop filter using sum-frequency generation in a PPLN waveguide
Abstract
A multi-wavelength bandstop filter is proposed and numerically demonstrated using the sum-frequency generation (SFG) process in a waveguide of periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN). This proposed device achieves channels number reconfigurable, central filtering wavelength of each filtering channel independently tunable and extinction ratios (ERs) equalized via all-optical methods.
