Abstract :
A new technique is presented to accurately determine the mean dispersion of Bragg gratings written in Mach-Zehnder interferometer arms. It could be used to control the dispersion of a Bragg grating based optical add-drop multiplexer. The letter will illustrate the preliminary experimental results.
