Abstract
We propose and demonstrate single- and multiple-passband fiber grating transmission filters that are remotely tunable by exploitation of the optical pump-induced thermal effects in Er/Yb-codoped fiber sections. A repeatable, wavelength-independent induced phase shift of is obtained without hysteresis and anisotropic effects. A transmission extinction ratio of with a 3-mW change in pump power is achieved.
