A detunable Fabry-Perot interferometer, and method of tuning a Fabry-Perot interferometer are provided. The Fabry-Perot interferometer includes a first mirror, a second mirror oriented with respect to tie first mirror so as to define a Fabry-Perot cavity therebetween, and an actuator configured to adjust a resonant wavelength of the Fabry-Perot cavity by varying a gap between the first and second mirrors, wherein the actuator is configured to selectively maintain the first and second mirrors in a substantially non-parallel relationship while the resonant wavelength of the Fabry-Perot interferometer is varied. The detunable Fabry-Perot interferometer can be employed in a multiplexer of a telecommunications system, as provided.
