Abstract. A coupled thermo-optic multilayer model is introduced to simulate the static intensity and polarization response of interference filters with an anisotropic central layer. The behaviour of various multilayer structures is investigated under different thermal conditions. The numerical predictions show good agreement with experimental data.
