ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to systems and methods for characterizing optical devices, and particularly to one that characterizes optical devices such as fiber Bragg gratings. In one embodiment, a system and method include the use of two light sources and four detectors to detect light transmitted through an optical device both before and after the light has been transmitted in each direction through the device.
