  • Abstract
    Transmitting subpicosecond pulses at moderate powers over a few meters of fiber creates a notch in the pulses´ power spectra in the vicinity of the fiber´s zero-dispersion wavelength. This is caused by the interaction of nonlinear self-phase modulation and third-order dispersion. This phenomenon can be used to determine the zero-dispersion wavelength of single-mode fibers
