Abstract
We investigate the effects of polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) and chirp on radio-frequency tone-based chromatic dispersion (CD) monitoring method, and show that the PMD and chirp induce significant CD monitoring errors. We propose a CD monitoring technique to suppress these effects. Experiment results show that the CD monitoring errors induced by PMD and chirp fluctuation are greatly suppressed.
