Summary:
Due to saturable nature of gain or absorption of Er doped fiber, a dynamic grating is formed by standing wave produced by interference between two laser beams traveling in opposite directions in the fiber. In this letter, we propose a variable optical filter using the dynamic grating in Er doped fiber controlled by synthesis of optical coherence function. Simulations and experimental verifications are also shown.
