INTRODUCTION
WDM network systems increase bandwidth & bit rate
Tunable optical filter is a important device in telecommunication
Use KNbO3 as Photorefractive crystal

Analytical model for tunable optical filter using
transmision grating
Gaussian beam as inut with:
maximum value of intensity Is 1.0W/cm²
Radius is 0.5mm
The incident angle is θs=5.5°
The index grating induced by the
control beams with spatial range
of z=0mm and z=8mm
Intensity ratio of the control beam to
signal beam as Ic/Is=5
We analyze signal beam propagation in a photorefractive material using a
Fnite Dimensional Beam Propagation Method (FD-BPM)
We investigate diffraction efficiency and bandwidth of an output signal

Signal beam propagation in photorefractive material and
its relative permittivity distribution
signal beam is diffracted toward c-axis
signal beam is diffracted toward anti-c-axis

Simulation results for Tunable optical filter using
transmision grating
The diffraction efficiency has a maximum value 0.92 and 0.79 at z=3.8mm and 4.6mm
in case of diffraction toward c-axis and anti c-axis
The difference between these maximum diffraction efficiencies or these optimum
interaction lengths decrease as the intensity of the control beam increases
because the index grating induced by the signal beam becomes small
relatively to that induced by the control beam
Considering the D.E & Lopt & I it may be concluded that it is preferable to use the
optical configuration of diffraction toward C-axis

CONCLUSIION
It is able to select the required wavelength components and control the bandwidth of the signal beam by adjusting the period and the width of the grating
The diffraction efficiency of the signal beam against the interaction length using the transmission grating is largerthan that using the reflection grating
FWHM of the filter using the transmission grating is much broader than that using the reflection grating
Ultra-narrowband optical filter with FWHM under 0.1nmcan be achieved using the reflection gratingconfiguration
