In-line optical fibre filters using dispersive materials

It is shown that optical fibre filters can be made by choosing core and cladding materials having appropriate dispersive characteristics. The bending loss of the dispersive optical fibres is calculated, and proves them to be useful for short- and long-wavelength-pass filters.
