The object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus that can perform measurement of chromatic dispersion, even if the wavelength of variable-wavelength light source and that of fixed-wavelength light source for reference are identical with each other. The variable-wavelength light generated by a variable-wavelength light source 12 is subjected to intensity modulation to a frequency f by a first optical modulator 15a and transmitted from one end 30a to the other end 30b of an optical fiber 30. The fixed-wavelength light generated by a fixed-wavelength light source 14 is subjected to intensity modulation to a frequency f by a second optical modulator 15b and transmitted from the other end 30b to the one end 30a of optical fiber 30. Therefore, it is possible to separately obtain the variable- wavelength light and fixed-wavelength light transmitted through the optical fiber 30 using a second directional coupler 28 and a first directional coupler 26, respectively, regardless of wavelengths thereof. Accordingly, it is also possible to perform the comparison of phase and measurement of chromatic dispersion, even if the wavelengths of variable-wavelength light source and fixed-wavelength light source for reference are identical with each other.
