Abstract
Interferometry is one of the effective approaches for characterizing dispersive optical components. The foundation is partial coherence theory. A derivation of partial coherence theory relating to the characterization of dispersive medium is presented here by combining with the measurement of CFBG (Chirped Fiber Bragg Grating), a dispersive fiber optic component with wide application in the compensation of the dispersion in optical telecommunication system. In the derivation the dispersion property, generally neglected in conventional partial coherence theory, is taken into account. It will make sense for instructing the measurement, research and investigation employing interferometric system in which dispersive medium is involved.
