In order to study the temperature-dependant properties of a birefringent filter made by uniaxial crystals LiNbO3,the relationship between birefringence and thickness of LiNbO3 with the change of temperature was characterized by numerical simulation. Transmission spectrum of the designed LiNbO3 birefringence filter was tested and investigated by using Ultra-6600 spectrophotometer. The results show that, in different bandwidths, a certain incident angle can be found to make center wavelength of the filter is insensitive to temperature. Further, the birefringence filter maintains temperature stability. The results show that, temperature stability of filter and precision of the LiNbO3 filter can be improved by adjusting the direction of incident light.
