  • Abstract
    An intensity-dependent refractive index in erbium doped optical fiber has been observed for the first time. The effect has been observed by an interferometric technique using a two-core fiber. The effect is analyzed theoretically, and the important nonlinear parameters for thin material have been determined and are presented
