TLDR
In this article, a procedure for the synthesis of an optical finite impulse response (FIR) birefringent filter generating arbitrary spectral output is presented, which is equally applicable for any periodic transfer function whose corresponding impulse response is real and causal.Abstract:
In the present communication, a procedure for the synthesis of an optical finite impulse response (FIR) birefringent filter
generating arbitrary spectral output is presented. The basic filter consists of a cascaded system of n identical retarders
between two polarizers at the two ends. A mathematical model of the optical FIR filter is introduced using the FIR
theory of digital filter design. The parameters determined by the synthesis procedure are the angles of the optic axes of
the individual crystals and the angle of the output polarizer. Classical FIR filter design method along with the optical
backward transfer technique has been used. Two different arbitrarily specified spectral output profiles have been studied.
However, the method is equally applicable for any periodic transfer function whose corresponding impulse response is
real and causal.read more

Birefringent Chain Filters
TL;DR: Birefringent chain filters were first described 10 years ago as mentioned in this paper, and since then such filters have undergone considerable development, and experience has been gained with their use. This article includes only a brief review of previous work, which is supplemented with new information.

TL;DR: In this article, a procedure for the synthesis of birefringent networks having arbitrarily prescribed transfer functions is presented, where the crystals are cut with their optic axes perpendicular to their length and the variables determined by the synthesis procedure are the angles of the optic axes of the crystals and the angle of the output polarizer.

TL;DR: In this paper, a technology for manipulating color is presented which utilizes polarization, rather than thin-film interference or absorption effects, which produces high performance filtering, color separation/combining, and chromatic polarization control operations.
