Abstract
An optical filter includes a first mirror that has a first uniform thickness, a second mirror that has a second uniform thickness, and a spacer that is positioned between the first mirror and the second mirror. The spacer has a variable thickness along a first axis of the optical filter. In some implementations, a thickness profile of the spacer, along the first axis, includes one or more portions that have a non-linear slope with an absolute value that is greater than zero.
