A thin-film resonant cavity filter (TFF) is a Fabry-Perot interferometer, or etalon, where the mirrors surrounding the cavity are realized by using multiple reflective dielectric thin-film layers. This device acts as a bandpass filter, passing through a particular wavelength and reflecting all the other wavelengths. The wavelength that is passed through is determined by the cavity length. A thin-film resonant multicavity filter (TFMF) consists of two or more cavities separated by reflective dielectric thin-film layers, as shown in Figure 1 below. The effect of having multiple cavities on the response of the filter is illustrated in Figure 2 below. As
