Abstract
A technique for the direct measurement of single-mode fiber chromatic dispersion is presented. The technique uses wavelength modulation to provide a differential fiber chromatic delay signal from which chromatic dispersion is obtained directly. The system is described in detail and practical measurement results shown to illustrate the high accuracy of the technique and its versatility in use with all fiber types.
