  • Abstract
    We have shown that mapping of chromatic dispersion in dispersion shifted fibres (DSF) is strongly affected by their polarization coupling length. Nevertheless, the possibility to obtain a meaningful dispersion map in a fiber with low polarization coupling still exists. However, it requires averaging of the dispersion values at a given location for different input SOP. First results for the extraction of the distributed nonlinear coefficient n2/Aeff are promising.
