A new method for the measurement of the group velocity dispersion (GVD) in optical fibers, based on optical frequency domain reflectometry (OFDR), is proposed and demonstrated. Frequency chirped light is used as a light source, which allows the dispersion to be determined from changes in the frequency chirp rate. Accurate measurement of the average dispersion, at a single terminal, in fibers up to several tens of kilometers, is accomplished using a frequency-shifted feedback fiber laser as a light source.
