    Abstract: A first tunable wavelength pulse light source (22) is driven by a reference signal to emit a first optical pulse. An optical demultiplexer (24) demultiplexes a first optical pulse emitted from the first pulse light source (22) into a reference optical pulse and an incident optical pulse to be sent into an object to be measured. An optical multiplexer (26) multiplexes the reference optical pulse and an outgoing optical pulse passing through the object to output multiplexed light. A second pulse light source (23) generates a second optical pulse which is synchronous with the first optical pulse and delays a predetermined time for each period of the first optical pulse. A sampling unit (27, 27a, 27b) receives the multiplexed light and the second optical pulse to obtain an optical pulse train signal proportional to the intensity of the multiplexed light obtained in synchronism with the second optical pulse. From the optical pulse train signal from the sampling unit (27, 27a, 27b), a signal processor (37) obtains an envelope formed by peaks of individual optical pulses forming the optical pulse train. The wavelength dispersion of the object is obtained by measuring the delay time of the outgoing optical pulse passing through the object on the basis of intervals between the peaks of the envelope.

    Abstract: Apparatus for isolating optical feedback in a laser interferometer having a laser light source (12) from which a linear polarised outgoing laser beam (28) of certain polarisation orientation is derived. The interferometer also redirects the outgoing laser beam to form a return laser beam (29) directed to a receiver (13). The outgoing and the return laser beams are physically close and are substantially parallel. The linearly polarised outgoing laser beam is converted to circular polarisation. A portion of the circularly polarised return laser beam directed toward the laser light source is converted back to linear polarisation with polarisation orientation orthogonal to the polarisation orientation of the outgoing laser beam. A portion of the circularly polarised return laser beam directed toward the receiver converted back to linear polarisation with polarisation orientation being substantially the same as the polarisation orientation of the outgoing laser beam. The portion of the return laser beam with polarisation orientation orthogonal to the polarisation orientation of the outgoing laser beam is directed away from the laser light source, and the portion of the return laser beam with polarisation orientation of the outgoing laser beam is directed toward the receiver.
