Abstract :
It is shown that the controlled multi-tapering of singlemode optical fibres can be considered as another degree of freedom in tailoring the spectral characteristics of dynamic acousto-optic filters. This results in optical filters with complex spectral responses, requiring only a single-frequency acoustic drive
