Abstract
Optical communication systems must perform reliably under strong background light interference. Since the transmitting lasers operate within a narrow spectral band, high signal-to-noise ratios can be achieved when narrowband spectral optical filters can be used to reject out-of-band light. This article develops a set of general requirements for such filters and provides an overview of suitable spectral filter technologies for optical communication systems.
