Scope

Four methods are described for measuring chromatic dispersion: (a) phase shift, (b) spectral group delay in the time domain, (c) differential phase shift, and (d) interferometry. Methods (a), (b) and (c) apply to class A1 graded-index multimode fibres and class B single-mode fibres. Method (d) applies to single-mode fibres, class B1 to B3 in the 1000 nm to 1700 nm wavelength range. The methods can be applied to laboratory, factory and field measurements of chromatic dispersion.
