DESCRIPTION
High-Q fiber-optic filters are designed to reflect or transmit optical radiation with delay in fiber-optic communication lines. These devices provide high precision in wavelength selection, excellent reflectivity, reliability, and long service life. The filters are produced using advanced technologies. The core structure consists of periodic refractive index modulation structures, induced in the core of optical fibers, known as fiber Bragg gratings, as well as various specialized structures based on them. Additionally, methods such as lithographic etching of silicon substrates and other techniques are used to create filters outside the internal structure of the fiber. The presented fiber-optic filters possess the best characteristics and high reliability. A scientific and technological laboratory setup has been developed for creating Bragg gratings in optical fibers with the necessary parameters, enabling the production of fiber-optic spectral filters for quantum communication lines.
