contents We present a fiber-ring resonator that realizes an ultra-narrowband, high-extinction, low-loss, tunable optical filter. It consists of a pair of commercial variable ratio directional couplers that allow precise adjustment of the filter bandwidth and its on-resonance transmission. This design also grants access to multiple modes of operation, such as a simultaneous band-stop and band-pass filter. Our characterization reveals a bandwidth of less than 2 MHz, together with an extinction exceeding 20 dB. The tunability of the filter properties establishes our device as a versatile platform for selective frequency filtering with sub-natural atomic linewidth resolution.
