Abstract
An optical filter for correcting non-linear gains across a wavelength band includes a first layer having a first layer thickness according to the formula: first layer thickness=m.lambda./(4n.sub.first), where m is an odd multiple integer, .lambda. is the central wavelength of the wavelength band, and n.sub.first is the refractive index of the first layer, and a second layer having a second layer thickness according to the formula: second layer thickness=.lambda./(4n.sub.second), where .lambda. is the central wavelength of the wavelength band, and n.sub.second is the refractive index of the second layer. The optical filter introduces an insertion loss for wavelengths in a wavelength band of optical fiber transmission having an insertion loss curve approximating a quadratic shape in the wavelength band and having a maximum insertion loss at a central wavelength of the wavelength band.
