Abstract
A novel method for measuring the distributed zero dispersion wavelengt h lambda(0) along a fibre's length is proposed that uses the dispersio n dependent amplification induced by modulation instability. The lambd a(0) distribution of a 10km fibre is successfully measured without cut ting the fibre into short pieces. The measured distribution is compare d with the average values of each span as measured with the convention al method.
