Abstract
A transmission fiber filter that can provide ultra-narrow transmission bandwidth and flexible tunable abilities is proposed
based on cascading two nonlinear chirped fiber gratings, whose reflection spectra have apparent asymmetric shapes. The
spectrum envelope slope parameter is defined to describe the spectrum asymmetry, and then, the relationship between the
parameter and the filtering ability is analyzed. The expected filter performances, such as the working wavelength,
transmission band width and tunable range are discussed as well..
Keywords
