Characterization of Fiber Bragg Gratings by Use of Optical Coherence-Domain Reflectometry

• A method based on optical low coherence reflectometry for complete characterization of fiber Bragg gratings (FBG's) is presented. It is shown that the measured signal corresponds to the impulse response of the grating filter, and the measurement therefore. yields all information about the device, Experiments have been carried out with a novel dual-channel interferometer, The results are in excellent agreement with the theory, demonstrating the versatility of the method for characterization of fiber gratings.
