Abstract
An optical filter is produced that has a desired spectral response. This is done by first decomposing the desired spectral response into individual simulated responses (F . . . F ) using a suitable computer program. Then tapered fiber filters are manufactured with parameters that closely match the individual responses. And finally the tapered fiber filters are concatenated on a single-mode fiber to produce the optical filter with a total response that closely matches the desired spectral response.
