The invention relates to an all-optical dispersion monitor based on an optical parameter amplifier. The all-optical dispersion monitor comprises a semiconductor laser, a coupler, the optical parameter amplifier, an output optical filter and an optical power meter. The semiconductor laser emits low-power continuous detection light. The continuous detection light and signal light are combined through the coupler and are filled into the optical parameter amplifier. The optical parameter amplifier is based on first-order four-wave mixing effect which causes energy to be transferred to detection waves and idle waves from the signal light. The detection waves and the idle waves with exponential gains are output, pass through the output optical filter and are measured by the optical power meter. The invention has the advantages that the response speed is fast, the sensitivity is high, the working waveband is wide, the signal rate and the modulation format are transparent, the monitor can be used for the dispersion monitoring of a WDM system with single channel rate above 100Gb/s, the high-speed photoelectric device and the signal processing circuit are not required during measurement, and the cost of devices is reduced.

Polarization-dependent isolator fused to the polarized optical axis of the polarization-maintaining optical fiber at an angle of 45 DEG; A wavelength division multiplexer, a gain optical fiber, a low dispersion small mode field nonlinear optical fiber, a polarization beam splitter, a polarization dependent isolator, a polarization maintaining optical fiber and a polarizer are sequentially connected to form an all optical fiber ring cavity; A polarization controller is located between the polarization beam splitter and the polarization dependent isolator and/or between the polarizer and the wavelength division multiplexer.

The invention discloses an all-optical sampler, comprising a continuous laser which is used for generating continuous signal light; an optical modulator which is driven by a radio frequency signal and is used for modulating an analog radio frequency signal through combination with the signal light, thereby generating continuous analog signal light; a polarization controller which is used for controlling a polarization state of the analog signal light; a first coupler which is used for allocating the low-power analog signal light into two ways of light according to a proportion; a Mach-Zehnder interferometer, wherein a first interference arm and a second interference arm of the Mach-Zehnder interferometer are used for receiving the two ways of analog signal light allocated by the first coupler; and a second coupler which is used for receiving the analog signal light output by the Mach-Zehnder inter-ferometer, coupling the analog signal light and then outputting sample signal light. According to the all-optical sampler, through utilization of cross-phase modulation effect of pump light for the analog signal light, the phase difference of the signals on the two interference arms is changed, so transmittance of the signals is changed; when the pump light exists, the signals are transmitted; and when the pump light does not exist, the signal transmittance is 0, thereby sampling the signals.
