ABSTRACT:
Several embodiments of multi-bandpass filters for processing optical signals are shown. The filters may include a transparent substrate with a thin film superimposed thereon. The thin film may have mirror layers and cavity layers, and may have multiple kinds of dielectrics with different refractive indices. The optical film may have a thickness that is a quarter of a reference wavelength, so as to form a plurality of Fabry-Perrot interferometer structures, and may have multiple groups of superimposed mirror and cavity layers depending on the desired effect. By using the described filters, the isolation between a plurality of the transmission bands can be sufficiently large, and separation of lights in a plurality of different wavelength regions can be carried out through a single multi-bandpass filter.
