Simple measurement of fiber dispersion and of chirp parameter of intensity modulated light emitter

Abstract

We report a novel method to measure two important parameters for optical fiber intensity modulated transmission systems: dispersion of optical fibers and chirp parameter of modulated light emitters. The method is easy, quick, and accurate for chirp parameter in the -10-to-10 range.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
