Abstract :
A novel technique for chromatic dispersion monitoring is proposed. It utilises electro-optical mixing to dramatically decrease the number of high-bandwidth components required for a WDM 40 Gbit/s chromatic dispersion monitoring system applicable in dynamically-reconfigurable optical burst switched networks.
