Abstract :

Abstract— We present a design thin film multi-cavity Fabry-Perot filter. These filters are most widely used filtration  technologies that made possible technical advancement of modern optical communication system .This paper is concerned with a theoretical study to design and analyze this type of filter. A brief introduction to the thin film multi-cavity filter technology will be presented. The recent progress in design thin film multi-cavity technology will be reviewed. These designs consist of two material  as high / low index. The wavelength range from 300nm to 500nm . The filter is to be coated on Fused Silica having index 1.55 and operates at normal incidence
