Abstract

We describe a piezo-electrically tunable servo-stabilised Fabry-Perot (FP) filter developed for use in fibre optic systems as a high resolution tunable filter/wavelength demultiplexer. The device has a built-in capacitance micrometer error detector which is used in a closed loop system to servo-stabilise the separation of the FP mirrors and allow hysteresis-free random access wavelength selection.
