Abstract
This paper describes the temperature dependence of chromatic dispersion in single-mode fibers for a temperature range of -60°- 250°C. Highly accurate dispersion measurements demonstrated a linear relationship (0.025 nm/°C) between the zero dispersion wavelength and temperature for tests conducted below 150°C. Further tests in the high-temperature range showed an increase in this dependence. For both temperature ranges, the results were independent of fiber coating and structure.
