摘要
The authors report a highly selective and tunable optical filter at 1.55 mu m using a Fabry-Perot resonator with micromachined InP-air gap distributed Bragg reflectors. The resonance full width half maximum, as measured by micro-reflectivity experiments, is close to 0.4nm (around 1.55 mu m) and is compatible with wavelength division multiplexing specifications for optical telecommunications.
