Abstract
The present invention provides a multi-wavelength channel transmission-type optical filter that is capable of more narrowing the bandwidth of transmission wavelength in a transmission type optical filter using Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The multi-wavelength channel transmission-type optical filter including a first optical fiber coupler for dividing a broadband light source into two lights, an optical fiber length and optical fiber length controlling unit for controlling the gap of transmission wavelength in which each receives as inputs the above lights divided by the first optical fiber coupler, a second optical fiber coupler for outputting each of the above lights, which are passed through the optical fiber length controlling unit and the optical fiber length, and an optical isolator for narrowing the width of transmission wavelength by connecting the two outputs of the second optical fiber coupler, thereby improving a wavelength selecting characteristics.
