Fiber Parameter-Independent Zero-Dispersion Wavelength Estimation Method and Its Feasibility With Reduced Quantization Bits and Sampling Rates

Abstract: We propose a method for estimating the zero-dispersion wavelength (ZDW) of an optical fiber independently of fiber parameters and for tuning the emission wavelength for the ZDW to suppress ...
