[[Optical Component]] Time division multiplexing (tdm) and wavelength division multiplexing (wdm) fast-sweep interrogator

Methods and apparatus for fast sweeping a spectral bandwidth in order to distinguish among signals received from effectively wavelength division multiplexed (WDMed) and time division multiplexed (TDMed) optical components on a single fiber. For some embodiments, a method for interrogating optical elements having characteristic wavelengths spanning a sweep range is provided....
