Accurate Chromatic Dispersion Characterization of Photonic Integrated Circuits

An accurate technique to characterize chromatic dispersion and its slope versus wavelength is reported. The method is based on a heterodyne Mach-Zehnder interferometer, which is immune to thermal phase noise by using a counterpropagating reference beam. Chromatic dispersion profiles are obtained ove...
