The switch controls the optical signal to pass by the fiber delay lines （FDLs） of different lengths. Different time delays between adjacent channels are obtained due to the chromatic dispersion of FDLs. Therefore, the system cannot be disturbed by the environment. The measured time delay responses are nearly linear with the wavelength spacing between optical carriers as well as the lengths of FDLs, which agrees well with the theoretical analysis.展开更多

The principle of the spectrometer is theoretically analyzed. A signal acquisition unit and an experimental set-up are designed. The spectrum of the polychromatie light source is obtained at a slantwise reflector angle of O.238°. The spectrum is analyzed by this system within the near infrared. The experimental results show that the spectral accuracy is less than 3 nm, and the signal-to-noise ratio （SNR） is 18 dB. The spectral resolution is less than 16 nm.展开更多
