Abstract
We propose a tunable stop-band hollow waveguide Bragg reflector with a variable tapered air-core. We demonstrate the tunable operation of both bandwidth and center-wavelength by changing a tapered air-core thickness. Wavelength tuning of over 1.0 % and stop-band expansion up to 5 nm are realized.
