Disclosed is a spectral filter including a plurality of Fabry-Perot structures which are collectively carried by a support, and coupled together so as to produce a coupling resonance that is distinct from individual resonances of each of the Fabry-Perot structures. The coupling resonance may have a higher quality factor than the quality factors of the individual resonances. Each Fabry-Perot structure includes two portions of metal surfaces which are parallel to a face of the substrate, so that electromagnetic radiation wave components propagating within each Fabry-Perot structure, and which contribute to the coupling resonance, have a direction of propagation that is parallel to the face of the substrate.
