Abstract

When designing static filters such as edge, line, bandpass etc.. the conventional approach relies on exploiting the resonances and bandgaps (stop-bands) that occur inside a multilayer thin film structure. When designing for tunability, a different approach is needed, arising primarily from the fact that the refractive index changes that occur in a phase change material (PCM) are generally complex-valued. In this paper, we will review the principles and strategies for designing tunable optical filters.
