Abstract

Coherent light Interferometry Light interference Light reflection Optical properties Michelson interferometer Non Gaussian broadband sources Optical coherence domain reflectometry Optical spectral analysis Reflectometers
A static Michelson interferometer and optical spectral analysis have been used to perform optical coherence-domain reflectometry (OCDR). Direct compensation for non-Gaussian source spectrum and dispersion are shown. Reflections indistinguishable using an EDFA source and conventional scanning OCDR are clearly distinguished with this method.
