The potential of twin photons generated by parametric down-conversion for
metrological applications are discussed. We present several experimental
results like the measurement of chromatic dispersion and polarization mode
dispersion in optical fibers.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures, Invited paper for the Symposium on Optical Fiber

Characterization of single-mode optical fibers requires a basis for time, wavelength and polarization. Parametric downconversion in non-linear crystals naturally provide pairs of photons extremely highly correlated in time, energy (thus wavelength) and polarization. I t is thus tempting to explore such photon pairs for fiber and fiber device characterization. Historically, entangled photon pair
