Abstract
We demonstrate a novel tunable and programmable optical bandpass filter with a transmission peak less than 5 pm wide that is tunable over 18.5 nm. The number of transmission windows within the stop band, as well as each window's position and strength, is set by applying a heat profile to a chirped fibre Bragg grating with the aid of a thermal printer head comprising a 640 pixel array. It is shown that the width of a transmission peak formed by local heating is mainly determined by the refractive index modulation depth and chirp rate and not by the width of the heated region.
