Abstract
The authors demonstrate a polarisation insensitive tunable reflective filter, with an integrated in-line optical amplifier providing a net f ibre coupled gain for the device. The filter has a spectral width of 1 0 Angstrom FWHM, with 1 Angstrom deviation between the TE and TM input polarisations. The filter can be tuned over a spectral range of 95 An gstrom. Tunable filter-amplifier devices can be useful for low noise W DM receivers. and for channel selection in WDM networks.
