Abstract

We propose a rectangular optical filter based on stimulated Brillouin scattering in fiber with tunable bandwidth from 50 MHz to 4 GHz at 15-MHz tuning resolution. The steep-edged rectangular shape of the filter is precisely controlled utilizing digital feedback revision of the pump light. The passband ripple is ∼1 dB by nonlinearity management of the pump and using the fiber with a single Brillouin peak. The extinction ratio of the filter is further enhanced using the polarization characteristics of the Brillouin scattering. Based on this filter, we demonstrate a sub-band extraction of a multi-band orthogonal frequency division multiplexing signal, which shows the potential ability of the filter in the fields of optical and microwave signal processing.
