The first demonstration of chromatic dispersion monitoring in optical networks having employed all-optical wavelength conversion is described. Experimental results confirm that dispersion monitoring based on an in-band subcarrier tone combined with wavelength conversion based on four-wave mixing (FWM) render dispersion monitoring possible in an optical network utilising wavelength conversion.
