Long fibre grating characterisation using low coherence reflectometry
Long fibre grating characterisation using low coherence reflectometry
Optical fibre dispersion compensation, and distributed fibre sensors, make use of long fibre gratings. Their reflectivity and time delay are usually characterised as a function of wavelength using an expensive tunable laser. We have recently achieved similar results with a new low-cost low-coherence reflectometry technique, which is related to earlier techniques for optical fibre characterisation.

Abstract
Optical fibre dispersion compensation, and distributed fibre sensors, make use of long fibre gratings. Their reflectivity and time delay are usually characterised as a function of wavelength using an expensive tunable laser. We have recently achieved similar results with a new low-cost low-coherence reflectometry technique, which is related to earlier techniques for optical fibre characterisation.
