ABSTRACT:
A method for aligning the spectral responses of two comb-like optical filters is provided. This method does not necessitate the use of spectrally-resolved equipment, as it uses the optical power correlation profile of a broadband light signal representative of the combined spectral responses of the two filters. In one embodiment, the power correlation profile is compared to a pre-stored profile. A tuning method for tuning two filters using this alignment method is also provided. The two filters are first relaxed to an unstretched position, and the second filter is stretched and aligned with the first. The first filter is also stretched and aligned with the other. Both filters are then stretched at a calibrated value.
