Abstract

In this paper, we focus on the improvement of accuracy of phase-shift methods to measure the fiber dispersion. By the analysis of experiment results and possible error sources, the more suitable measurement conditions are provided to decrease the measurement error to a great extent. Except keeping a constant temperature and isolating the device from mechanical vibrations when measurement is carried out, as large as 1nm measurement wavelength step and large wavelength span at several tens nm level are preferred to obtain more accurate and repeatable measurement.
