We report on a simple spectral interferometric technique for chromatic dispersion
measurement of a short length optical fibre including the zero-dispersion wavelength. The …

We present a new method for measuring the group dispersion of the fundamental mode of a
holey fiber over a wide wavelength range by white-light interferometry employing a low …

Sha** single-mode operation in high-power fibers requires a precise knowledge of the
gain-medium optical properties. This requires precise measurements of the refractive index …

We report on a white-light interferometric technique for a broad spectral range measurement
(eg 500–1600 nm) of chromatic dispersion of polarization modes in short-length optical …

We designed, fabricated, and characterized birefringent holey fibers with zero polarimetric
sensitivity to temperature. The sensitivity measurements were carried out in a wide spectral …

Since the first proof-of-principle experiments 25 years ago, quantum metrology has matured
from fundamental concepts to versatile and powerful tools in a large variety of research …
