Abstract
A method and apparatus for estimating fiber dispersion in an optical communication system including transmitting an optical signal carrying a unique word along an optical communication path, receiving the optical signal carrying the unique word from the optical communication path, producing an electrical signal corresponding to the received unique word, and processing the electrical signal corresponding to the received unique word to produce an estimate of the fiber dispersion in the optical communication system.
