Abstract
An edge filter is a potential technology in the fiber Bragg grating interrogation that has the advantages of fast response speed and suitability for dynamic measurement. To build a low loss, wideband jammed-array wideband sawtooth (JAWS) filter, a finite reflection virtually imaged array (FRVIA) is proposed and demonstrated. FRVIA is different from the virtually imaged phased array in that it has a low reflective front end. This change will lead to many differences in the device’s performance in output optical intensity distribution, spectral resolution, output aperture, and tolerance of the manufacture errors. A low loss, wideband JAWS filter based on an FRVIA can provide an edge filter for each channel, respectively.
