Characteristics of a High-Utilization Laser Frequency-Selective Ultra-Narrow F-P Filter Module
To tackle the drawbacks of small effective area and limited incident angle in conventional Fabry–Pérot (F-P) etalons, this paper presents a high-utilization laser frequency-selective ultra-narrow band F-P filter module, along with systematic investigations into its operating principle, simulation, design, and verification. A simulation model with a central wavelength of 532.20 nm (±0.1 nm) and a free spectral range of 300 pm is developed, and a prototype filter is fabricated accordingly. The prototype exhibits a transmission peak linewidth better than 0.037 nm and a peak transmittance over 68%, matching well with the simulation. Simulations also reveal symmetric high-transmittance peaks at ±2.9° with stable frequency selection performance. On this basis, an integrated module is proposed using field-of-view angle conversion and optical path multiplexing. Under combined incidence at 0° and ±2.9°, the module achieves 1.67 times the energy of single-angle incidence while satisfying wavelength and bandwidth requirements. The proposed structure breaks through the conventional normal-incidence restriction and offers a novel approach for high-efficiency, multi-angle multiplexing applications of F-P etalons in precision optical systems.
