AbstractIn this paper, a novel microwave continuously tunable band-pass filter, based on nematic liquid crystals (LCs), is proposed. It uses liquid crystal (LC) as the electro-optic material to mainly realize frequency shift at microwave band by changing the dielectric anisotropy, when applying the bias voltage. According to simulation results, it achieves 840 MHz offset. Comparing to the existing tunable filter, it has many advantages, such as continuously tunable, miniaturization, low processing costs, low tuning voltage, etc. Thus, it has shown great potentials in frequency domain and practical applications in modern communication.

In this paper, the progress of the application of photorefractive fiber and waveguide crystal gratings to a narrow band, fast speed, tunable filter is presented. This novel filter is based on tunable Bragg grating. It uses the diffraction effect of Bragg grating to select the wavelength and the electro-optic effect of the grating to tune the effective grating period. Several approaches of fabricating this type of tunable Bragg grating based filter are discussed and some preliminary results are provided. It is shown that the tuning speed of this type of filter can be in the ns range and the bandwidth can be as narrow as 0.01 nm.
