Single mode guided optics have recently taken a predominant place in communications systems. For instance single mode fibres enable long span, high data rate transmission links to be installed. In such fibers the data rate is ultimately limited by the chro ...
We present a microspectrometer based on a tunable interference filter for infrared or visible light that scans the desired part of the spectrum within milliseconds. A single pixel detector measures serially the intensity at selected wavelengths. This conce ...

We present a MEMS infrared spectrometer for selective and quantitative chemical gas analysis. infrared absorption spectroscopy can distinguish gases easily and also detect nonreactive molecules like CO2, in contrast to e.g. metal oxide gas sensors The foll ...
A new nondestructive method for measuring the spatial distribution of chromatic dispersion along an optical fiber is presented. It is based on using Brillouin optical time-domain analysis to probe the power distribution of the four-wave mixing generated by ...

An all-fiber interferometric method for chromatic dispersion measurements in meter-length single-mode fibers is presented. In a Michelson setup the physical length of a reference fiber was varied so as to obtain adjustable optical delay. Time resolution, e ...
An improved technique for chromatic dispersion measurements in single-mode fibers using phase-shift measurements is presented. The conventional experimental setup using a modulated light-emitting diode filtered by a monochromator as a light source, a fast ...
The principal techniques for chromatic dispersion measurements are described with special focus on the interferometric methods. The techniques are compared with respect to their results, advantages and limitations, and the influence of birefringence effect ...
The apparatus according to the invention comprises a coupler (30) intended to couple between each other two monomode fibres presenting four branches (31, 32, 33, 34). The branch (31) is connected to a branch (36). The branch (33) is the reference fibre and ...
