Single Resonance Monolithic Fabry-Perot Filters Formed By Volume Bragg Gratings And Multilayer Dielectric Mirrors

A new class of Fabry-Perot filters produced by a multilayer dielectric mirror deposited on top of a reflecting volume Bragg grating is described. The first fabricated prototype for the 852nm region demonstrates a 30pm bandwidth, 90 + % transmission at resonance, and a good agreement with theoretical simulation. © 2011 Optical Society of America
