Abstract

Nonlinear coefficient measurements for dispersion shifted fibres (DSFs) using the self-phase modulation (SPM) method at 1.55 mu m are presented for the first time. The nonlinear Kerr refractive index n/sub 2/ for various DSFs is found to be approximately 2.31*10/sup -20/m/sup 2//W (+or-5%) for random polarisation states at 1.55 mu m. >
