Abstract:
An optical apparatus, comprising a semiconductor substrate, a dielectric layer located on the semiconductor substrate, wherein a membrane portion of the dielectric layer is located over a cavity in a surface of the semiconductor substrate, a resistive heater located on the membrane portion, the resistive heater being controllable by a current applied to the resistive heater and an etalon optical filter located on the resistive heater and over the cavity, an optical passband of the etalon optical filter being wavelength tunable by the resistive heater. A method of manufacturing the optical apparatus is also disclosed.
