Abstract
A compressive force is applied to a conventional air-spaced etalon filter to fine tune the thickness of the spacers to a precise and uniform optical length. The etalon is coupled to a housing device capable of adjusting the thickness of each spacer, thereby tuning the etalon to the desired filter wavelength. The resulting assembly is permanently set to the desired parameters for direct use in optical applications.
