| 摘要 |
The invention relates to an apparatus for characterizing a chromatic dispersion of an optical receive signal, the apparatus comprising a delay means for delaying the optical receive signal by a predetermined time delay to obtain a delayed signal, the delayed signal being delayed with respect to the optical receive signal, a phase detecting means for determining a first value indicating a phase delay of the optical receive signal, and for determining a second value indicating a phase delay of the delayed signal, and a processor for determining a chromatic dispersion indicator upon the basis of the first value and the second value, the chromatic dispersion indicator characterizing the chromatic dispersion. |
