Abstract

This paper provides an analysis of the influence of a range of factors on the resolution of the ratiometric wavelength measurement system including the slope of the edge filter, the spectral nature of the input optical signal and the working wavelength range. Our investigations show that, for a given input optical signal and when the working wavelength range is known, it is relatively straightforward to select an optimum slope for the edge filter that will yield a maximum resolution for the system.
