Abstract
Linear increases in the zero dispersion wavelength for increasing pressure, temperature and strain in a dispersion shifted fibre (DSF) have been observed. The shift arises as a result of an increasing differential refractive index between core and cladding, irrespective of the sign of the absolute refractive index change.
