摘要：

Optical fibers have played a pivotal role in the long-distance transportation of quantum states and quantum key distribution due to their low loss. They have garnered attention for photon- pair generation and quantum frequency conversion due to their engineered dispersion properties. Accurate measurement of dispersion properties is essential for these applications. In this study, we introduce a new method to measure the dispersion properties of short optical fibers using Bragg-scattering four-wave mixing (BS-FWM). We successfully measured properties, including zero group-velocity-dispersion wavelength, dispersion slope, and the nonlinear coefficient, for fiber lengths ranging from 9.7 m to 392.7 m. Furthermore, we achieved efficient quantum frequency conversion with an efficiency of 83.8 +/- 0.8% using parameters extracted from a 53.9m-long optical fiber. Our research offers a valuable resource for improving the performance of fiber-based photon-pair sources and quantum frequency converters and has potential implications for advancing fiber-based quantum information processing.
