Abstract :
We present an efficient numerical method to evaluate the induced birefringence generated during the inscription process of an FBG. We use the experimental transmitted spectrum and the wavelength evolution of the corresponding first normalized Stokes parameter to obtain the value of the birefringence. Our reconstruction technique is based on the Nelder-Mead simplex algorithm.
