    Angle-tuned thin film filter is widely used in the DWDM system for its broad tunable wavelength range and high rectangular degree. The transmissivity and the half bandwidth is greatly influenced not only by the incident angle, but also by the wedge angle of the non-paralleled thin film filter. In the present paper, the influences of the wedge angle on the transmissivity and the half bandwidth were detailedly analyzed. The proper wedge angle and the orientation can greatly improve the characteristics of the transmittance spectrum. The angle-tuned thin film filter with 0.8°wedge angle was also fabricated. The experimental results show that keeping the wedge angle with the same orientation to the incident angle will worsen the transmissivity and the rectangular degree of the transmittance spectrum. However, keeping the wedge angle orientation reverse to the incident angle will greatly enhance the transmissivity and the rectangular degree of the filter and its tunable wavelength range will broaden by 10 nm.
