Due to the Kerr effect, high optical intensity in a medium (eg an optical fiber) causes a
nonlinear phase delay of the propagating light. That phase delay which has the same …

Nonlinear optics is important for many scientific and engineering applications to have the
capability to generate, transmit, and control the spectrum of ultrashort laser pulses. In the …

The modulation of light by light is studied. Two different modulation techniques are
investigated: the Self-Induced Polarization Change and the Kerr Effect. Both are based on …

We propose the use of a dispersive medium with a negative nonlinear refractive-index
coefficient as a way to compensate for the dispersion and the nonlinear effects resulting from …

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a new approach to dramatically reduce the
spectral broadening induced by self-phase modulation occurring in a Kerr medium. By using …

We examine the effects of optical nonlinearities that are due to the intensity-dependent index
of refraction in optical fibers. The broadening of the frequency spectrum of an optical pulse …

First observations of cross-phase modulation effects were reported in mid-1980's. This
nonlinear interaction between ultrashort pulses is inherent to nonlinear generation …

Publisher Summary It is noted that the Kerr effect is an intrinsic property of glass that causes
a change in the refractive index proportional to the optical power. A comprehensive review …
