Abstract
Accurate determination of fiber nonlinearities is important issue in the design of all-optical transport networks. In this paper, the second-order refractive index (n2) has been discussed and its measurement techniques overviewed. The brief description of each measured method is given. This paper focuses on the comparison of different interferometric and non-interferometric measurement schemes in terms of their simplicity and versatility of testing various types of fibers.
