Realization of spectral tunable filter based on thermal effect in microfiber structure
description This paper demonstrates a new approach for tuning the extinction ratio of a complex microfiber structure output using thermal effect.

This enables electrical tuning, where applying electrical current increases the temperature and affects the optical path. The change of temperature facilitates the fine tuning of the resonance output spectrum.
