摘要:
The invention relates to a system and method of dispersion measurement in an optical fibre network. The invention provides means for transmitting from a transmitting node, using a single tunable laser transmitter, two consecutive bursts of data at different wavelengths λ1 and λ2 to a receiver node, wherein each burst of data comprises a unique sequence of amplitude modulated data, and wherein the two sequences are injected with a fixed known delay. The delay between the two consecutive bursts of data is maintained by selective switching of the tunable laser, such that clock recovery circuitry at the receiver node remains locked during the delay between the two bursts. The dispersion measurements method of the present invention is based on walk off and bit position detection between two wavelengths suitable for fast optical burst switching network is described. This method does not require an operator, extra equipment, or traffic interruption on the network.
