Accurate self-calibrated fiber transfer delay measurement
1State Key Laboratory of Precision Measurement Technology and Instruments, Department of Precision Instrument, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China.
Abstract:
An accurate self-calibrated fiber transfer delay measurement method is demonstrated. Using the simplified self-calibration configuration, the measurement uncertainty of fiber transfer delay is improved. To demonstrate the accuracy of the method, the measurement results of two systems are compared. It shows that this method achieves a sub-picosecond accuracy. Besides, the chromatic dispersion of fiber under test is also obtained, which is in agreement with the nominal value.
