We propose and demonstrate a novel ladder interferometric filter that exhibits flat-topped spectral response for use in wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) based photonic networks. We numerically analyze the flattened spectral response in a ladder-type filter by modifying the transfer matrix of ladder interferometer. Conventional parabolic-shaped and flat-topped-designed ladder interferometric filters are fabricated, and characterized. We demonstrate a flat-topped filter response in the fabricated device. The shape factor, which is defined by the ratio of -1 dB bandwidth to -10 dB bandwidth, is improved from 0.32 to 0.54. The tunability and the increase in filter extinction ratio of the proposed device are also discussed.
