Abstract

Generally, the design of apparatus configuration plays fundamental and deterministic role over acquired outcome. For any suggested model, there would be many devices available in the laboratory that meet our required expectation on the quantity of proposed variables or parameters. However, some of the devices do not meet the desired reliability, stability or accuracy quality. For the intent of this book, in addition of the above qualities, the response time of measuring device is quite a significant factor. In the following sections, important features and characteristics of active or passive elements will be investigated to exploit them in implementing the design for characterizing dispersion of the optical field.
