The invention discloses an optical all-pass filter. The optical all-pass filter comprises a first optical coupler, a second optical coupler, a first coupling grating, a second coupling grating, first, second, third and fourth optical phase shifters and a microring. By use of frequency response characteristics of the microring, two ways of signals with adjustable amplitudes and phases are transmitted into the microring from two different ports of the microring respectively and are output at the two ports of the microring after being subjected to interfered beam combination. Different system phase response spectrum widths are realized by changing the coupling state of the microring, system amplitude response is a constant unrelated to frequency through adjustment of the amplitudes and phases of the two ways of signals, so that the optical all-pass filter is obtained. On the basis of the optical all-pass filter, the invention discloses a microwave photonic filter with a high Q value and an ultrahigh inhibition ratio and a microwave photonic phase shifter with a broad work frequency range and no sinking of amplitude response in the work range.
