Abstract:

In this article, we describe local and spectral characterization of fibers and integrated optical components using low coherence interferometry. Chromatic dispersion and group birefringence measurements of erbium-doped fibers or photonic crystal fibers are presented, as well as local characterization of fiber Bragg gratings which allows the determination of strain and profile temperature gradient inside a material.

Keywords: birefringence; fiber Bragg gratings; interferometry; photonic crystal fibers
