Chromatic Dispersion measurement of short optical fibers by sinusoidal phase modulation of a monochromatic light

Abstract

We report a simple method to measure the chromatic dispersion of short length optical fibers using phase modulation of a continuous-wave light. The results obtained were exploited to design a coupled optoelectronic oscillators with optimization of its intracavity dispersion.

Effects of Polarization Mode Dispersion on an All Polarization Maintaining Fibers Based Coupled Optoelectronic Oscillator

“…With α the FUT attenuation, η the response of the photodiode in A/W and RL the 50 Ω load resistance of the VNA. Details of the extraction of Dtot from this equation can be found in [10].…”
