Abstract
A new technique for obtaining both time delay and reflectivity as a Fu nction of wavelength within a long fibre Bragg grating is presented. A narrowband wavelength-tunable reflector with a 0.18nm bandwidth is us ed to select the interrogation wavelength, while optical coherence-dom ain reflectometry is used to obtain the time delay with better than 2p s accuracy.
