Abstract:

The purpose of this work was to investigate the application of modified Czerny-Turner spectrographic optical systems to high channel density wavelength division multiplexing. A breadboard test system was constructed using off-the-shelf components and system performance was measured and evaluated. The results found using the breadboard system will be used to further develop measurement techniques for WDM systems and also to increase the performance of other high density systems. In parallel with the breadboard fabrication evaluation, a series of lenses to increase system performance have been designed. rrh
