Abstract

A new tuning scheme of the photorefractive filter is presented using LiNbO₃ crystal doped with 0.015Wt.% Fe. Analyzing the filter bandwidth property from the geometrical method, a new wavelength selectivity theory is derived. The center wavelength can be tuned by the real-time received beam angle control using the spatial light modulator. As tuning time depends on the response time of the spatia light modulator, it has high tuning speed. The use of thermally fixed single grating makes the uniform diffraction property over all filtering range. Designed tunable filter consists of the three channel with 4 nm bandwidth and 10 nm spacing. From the optical experiment, we get the real-time tunable filter which has 4.5 nm, 4.25 nm, 4 nm bandwidth and 1530.5 nm, 1540.5 nm, 1549.5 nm center wavelength, respectively. Demonstrated filter has a switching time of several tens milli-second and a full tuning range of 20 nm.
