    Abstract: A method of calibrating an optical frequency of light emitted from a wavelength-swept light source thereby allowing it to compensate for an error of a wavelength includes performing a first process of measuring an optical frequency range of the emitted light while changing a control parameter associated with an optical frequency sweeping mechanism and determining a correspondence between the control parameter and the optical frequency range, performing a second process of measuring a maximum of a gain of an active medium included in the wavelength-swept light source and determining a correspondence between the maximum of the gain and the control parameter, performing a third process of determining a relationship between the optical frequency range of the emitted light and the control parameter corresponding to the maximum gain of the active medium, and performing a fourth process of adjusting the control parameter based on the determined relationship.

    Abstract: An optical measuring device measures a wavelength of a response from a sensing device. The optical measuring device contains a light path coupled to an interface for coupling the light path to the sensing device. A periodic optical filter has an input coupled to the light path, to sample light that is supplied to or received from the sensing device. A continuous output optical filter has an input coupled the light path to sample light that is supplied to or received from the sensing device. A computation circuit is coupled to detectors at the periodic optical filter and the continuous output optical filter. The computation circuit is programmed to process output signals from the detectors obtained during a wavelength scan. The processing involves quantization of data derived from the continuous filter wavelengths associated with respective time points at which the wavelength scan reaches corresponding positions in respective periods of the periodic optical filter. The processing computes a wavelength associated with the response of the sensing device from the identified wavelengths on the basis of a temporal relation between said respective time points and a time point of the response of the sensing device.

The apparatus includes an integrated laser module, an electronic control and processing unit, an optical coupling element, and one or more light receivers. Light is reflected back from the optical sensor through the optical coupling element to the light receiver(s). The electronic control and processing unit controls the wavelength of the integrated laser module using thermal control and, at the same time, detecting the wavelength of the integrated laser module using a wavelength selective element of the integrated laser module. According to the method, a wavelength sweep from the integrated laser module wavelength is swept, simultaneously measured and stored in memory of the electronic control and processing unit. The optical sensor response is recorded during the sweep and combined with stored emitted wavelengths to obtain spectral characteristics of interrogated optical sensor. Numerous other aspects are provided.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for estimating bandwidth of laser output light is described which may include a dispersive element producing a dispersed output having a plurality of spectrum images from at least a portion of the laser output light. An array of light detecting elements is oriented to receive the dispersed output together with a shifting mechanism that moves the array, the dispersed output, or both, relative to each other. Electronics may be provided for determining the widths of at least two spectrum images at different phases of registration between the spectrum images and light detector elements and for averaging the widths to estimate a laser output bandwidth. The-spectrum images formed by the laser output light may be under-sampled, e.g., in the spatial or time domains.
