Abstract
Procedures are presented for estimating critical powers for nonlinear optical processes in single-mode fiber transmission systems. Crosstalk due to Raman gain in multiplexed systems can appear at powers of a few mW. The effects of self-phase modulation and stimulated Brillouin scattering can appear around 100 mW while typical stimulated Raman threshold powers are a few watts.
