Research abstract
We propose a novel high SNR, ultra fast, tunable filter using a photorefractive single crystal fiber hologram. The volume hologram constructed in the crystal fiber works as a narrow band filter. To provide high SNR, the volume hologram is designed using the formula of the Hamming window. The filter can be tuned using the first order electro-optic effect.
