  ABSTRACT: An easy method is put forward to estimate the optical bandwidth and the wavelength of maximum transmission of Lyot optical filter by measuring the change in phase retardation of birefringent plates as function of thickness. The objective is to demonstrate the experiment with common undergraduate laboratory equipment and thereby provide with an educational aid. The filter is fabricated with cellotape using its birefringence property. The accuracy of measurement is cross-checked with precision spectroradiometric measurements. Some simplification is suggested in the theoretical derivation of the transmitted intensity and a possibility of realizing tunable filter by changing the angle of incidence is indicated.
