Abstract
Chromatic dispersion measurement is demonstrated on a 4564 km transmis sion system with 138 cascaded optical amplifiers. The technique uses a phase error cancellation method, which significantly reduces the phas e error due to the system length fluctuations. It also uses temperatur e tuned DFB-LDs, which provide precise and stable probe wave-length co ntrol over a few nanometres.
