Based on digital signal processing theory,a novel method of designing optical notch filter is proposed for Mach-Zehnder interferometer with cascaded optical fiber rings coupled structure.The method is simple and effective,and it can be used to implement the designing of the optical notch filter which has arbitrary number of notch points in one free spectrum range(FSR).A design example of notch filter based on cascaded single-fiber-rings is given.On this basis,an improved cascaded double-fiber-rings structure is presented to eliminate the effect of phase shift caused by the single-fiber-ring structure.This new structure can improve the stability and applicability of system.The change of output intensity spectrum is finally investigated for each design parameter and the tuning characteristics of the notch filter are also discussed.
