Abstract
In this paper, by improving the experimental scheme, we have been able to measure the fiber optical parametric amplifier (FOPA) gain along the fiber with low noise, which enabled us to derive zero dispersion wavelength (ZDW) fluctuations as low as 0.02 nm along highly nonlinear fibers (HNLFs) with 2 meters longitudinal resolution.
