Broad-band tunable all-fiber bandpass filter based on hollow optical fiber and long-period grating pair

We report a tunable all-fiber bandpass filter based on a short hollow optical fiber serially concatenated between a pair of long-period fiber gratings. With novel core mode blocking in the hollow core fiber and its optimal design, the device showed a low insertion loss of 1.5 dB and broad-band passband tuning range of 84.3 nm covering both S- and C-band.
