The invention relates to tunable wavelength-selective optical filters for
letting light of a narrow optical spectrum band, centered around an
adjustable wavelength, to pass through and to stop wavelengths lying
outside this band. More particularly, the invention relates to a process
for the collective fabrication of optical filtering components,
consisting in producing a plurality of optical filtering components on a
transparent substrate. The process further comprises covering the
plurality of components with a transparent collective cover, in optically
testing each component individually, and in separating the various
components from one another. The invention also relates to a wafer of
components, comprising a transparent substrate on which a plurality of
optical filtering components has been produced, a transparent cover (8)
collectively covering the components. The wafer further includes means
for individually testing each component.
