DISPERSION COMPENSATION: DEVELOPED SOFTWARE: Fig. 1: Dispersion compensation using a chirped Fiber Bragg Grating. Fiber Bragg Gratings are passive components that work as optical filters. Their singular characteristic makes them useful for dispersion compensation. Underlying intramodal dispersion is the broadening of the pulse. A chirped Bragg grating introduces different delays at different frequencies, compressing the pulse. Fig. 4: Measurement with real time data presentation.

Fig. 8: Generic software for data acquisition from the Network Analyzer. CONCLUSIONS: A measurement setup was implemented for characterization of the amplitude and group delay parameters of Fiber Bragg Gratings. Efficient control of the setup with a user-friendly interface was achieved. Characterization of Fiber Bragg Gratings is carried out with high-resolution and fast processing.
