Abstract
Non-destructive and accurate measurement of zero-dispersion wavelength variation in concatenated dispersion-shifted fiber link by improved f our-wave-mixing technique has been proposed, The improved technique ut ilizes the characteristics of the four-wave-mixing efficiency that the efficiency always takes the peak value when a pump wavelength meets t he zero-dispersion wavelength, independent of the a probe wavelength, and that the period of the power oscillation is different for differen t probe wavelengths. The validity has been verified by numerical calcu lations and the experiment using this technique has been successfully demonstrated.
