<title>Complete system for characterization of spectrally selective fiber optic devices</title>

Abstract

We present an optical setup for complete characterization of fiber Bragg gratings and wavelength selective fiber-optic devices. We measure the spectral response of these devices either in transmission or in reflection geometry, and the wavelength dependency of the group delays due to chromatic and polarization mode dispersion, as well as the wavelength dependency of the polarization dependent loss.
