Calculation of uncertainties of the second method experimental setup at λWM 1530 nm and for a period of time of 30 min, corresponding to n = 2245.

Magnitude Component of Uncertainty Value (pm) Type Uncertainty Contribution (pm)
λref Absorption line value 3.5 × 10−1 B 1.8 × 10−1
λFBGI Measurement stability 6.0 × 10−4 A 1.3 × 10−5
Optical resolution 8.0 × 10−1 B 2.3 × 10−1
Display resolution 1.0 × 10−2 B 2.9 × 10−3
On-off repeatability 2.0 × 10−1 B (*) 1.2 × 10−1
Expanded uncertainty (U) (k = 2) ±6.3 × 10−1

(*) Obtained by experimentally estimating the lower and upper bounds.
