Abstract

See full text

A voltage-tuned optical filter that is low cost and simple to fabricate uses cascaded etalon modules, each module comprising a liquid crystal etalon, such as a Fabry-Perot etalon, having a relatively small Free Spectral Range (FSR). At least two of the modules are provided with a voltage control to enable Vernier tuning control. For a given overall scan, the voltage-tuned optical filter may operate with reduced voltage ranges for each liquid crystal etalon.
