Abstract

Laser-excited optical fibers that are in principle tunable narrow-bandwidth wide field-of-view optical filters are discussed. These filters can simultaneously provide high-resolution (0.001-nm), wide field-of-view (±90°), high-quantum-efficiency, and electrically tunable optical filtering. They are ideally suited for extracting weak narrow-bandwidth signals buried in strong nonresonant optical background radiation. Sources of intrinsic noise in a Rb filter, which can limit the sensitivity of these devices, are identified.
