The invention provides an ultra-wide tuning range narrow-band
optical filter utilizing FP cavity high-order
harmonics and a design method of the ultra-wide tuning range narrow-band
optical filter. The
optical filter comprises an input reflecting layer, a composite cavity layer and an output reflecting layer which are stacked in sequence, the composite cavity layer comprises a
metal layer and two single-side cavity
layers which are arranged on the two sides of the
metal layer and are equal in thickness; by adjusting the thickness of the single-side cavity layer, the filtering center
wavelength is adjusted; the larger the thickness of the single-side cavity layer is, the larger the filtering center
wavelength is. The
metal layer is introduced into the middle of the FP cavity of the optical filter, so that a first-order
harmonic peak is effectively inhibited, second-order
harmonic waves are reserved, and a
sideband at a short wave position is reduced, so that the
full width of half peak of filtering is reduced, and meanwhile, the
working range of the FP optical filter is widened to the range of 550nm-850nm by utilizing high-order
resonance. The optical filter is simple in structure process, easy to implement and simple in structure, and the central
wavelength of the optical filter can be adjusted only by adjusting the thickness of the
silicon dioxide cavity
layers adjacent to the two sides of the metal layer.
