Title :
Characterization of chromatic dispersion using gated amplified spontaneous emission

Abstract :
Chromatic dispersion is characterized using temporally-gated amplified spontaneous emission. The group delay is directly obtained using interferometry and Fourier processing as a continuous function of the optical frequency over the full bandwidth of the source.
