Abstract
We demonstrate experimentally and theoretically the degrading effect of noise from source amplified spontaneous emission on measurements of chromatic dispersion using the modulation phase-shift method. We show that dramatic performance improvements can be realized simply by using a narrow-band tracking filter.Citation
