Study on Insertion Loss of Fiber Fabry-Perot Filters
Open Access JCC
mode mis match with limitation to the mode size of reso-
nant cavity of finite sized mirror. The simulation results
demonstrate that finite-size-mirror filter do help with re-
duction of insertion loss of FFP filter.
6. Summary and Conclusions
We have studied the insertion loss of FFP filters. Based
on discussion of effects on insertion loss, finite-size-mirror
FFP filter was simulated a nd compared.
Insertion loss is one of the important charac teristics of
FFP filter. Simulation results demonstrate that finite-size-
mirror structure helps with reduction in insertion loss of
FFP filter. This is because finite-size-mirror can limit the
mode size of F-P cavity.
