Abstract :
Summary form only given. In this paper we report on measurements of the nonlinear coefficient (nonlinear refractive index/effective area) of different fibers of interest in transmission systems at 1550 nm: large-effective area fiber dispersion-shifted fiber (LEAF), dispersion-compensation fiber (DCF), and standard dispersion fibers.
