摘要： An all-fiber, optically-tunable, narrowband optical loop-mirror filter (10) that makes use of a loop-mirror (24). The optical filter (10) includes a coupler (12), including two input fiber ports (14, 16) and two output fiber ports (18, 20) that are connected together to form the loop-mirror (24). A saturable medium (22) is positioned in the loop-mirror (24), and can be either a saturable absorber medium or a saturable gain medium. A potentially broadband optical input signal to be filtered and a pump are applied to the input ports (14, 16) of the coupler (12). The counter propagating signals in the loop-mirror (24) generated by the input signal and the pump create two standing wave interference patterns in the saturable medium (22). Depending on whether the input signal and the pump are applied to the same input port (14, 16) or different input ports (14, 16) determines whether the two standing wave interference patterns are in phase with each other or &Xgr; radians out of phase with each other. If the saturable medium (22) is a saturable gain medium, then the peaks of the pump standing wave interference pattern bleach the gain of the filter (22) at the peak locations, preventing amplification of the input signal at these locations. Likewise, if the saturable medium (22) is a saturable absorber medium, the peaks of the pump interference pattern bleach the absorption of the saturable medium (22) at the peak locations, leaving rest of the saturable medium (22) to provide saturation. Therefore, the filter (10) can be either a bandpass filter or a notch filter.
