A novel method for the measurement of chromatic dispersion in a single-mode optical fiber is proposed and demonstrated. This method adopts the technique of external modulation of the DFB laser output and direct optical frequency sweep range monitoring by coherent heterodyne detection.This method is also applicable to the future optical communication system with narrow-band optical elements such as optical amplifiers whereas measurement is impossible by the present state of the art.
