  • Abstract
    A technique for rapid, cost-effective measurement and monitoring of the chromatic dispersion of optical fibre using a Sagnac interferometer is reported. The interferometer incorporates an asymmetrically driven phase modulator and a novel optoelectronic feedback circuit. The chromatic dispersion of a 1 km-long singlemode fibre was measured over the range of 1440-1625 nm in less than 30 s.
