Abstract

In this paper, we discussed both a theoretical and experimental analysis of the nonlinear polarization rotation in an optical fiber. And measure the non-linear coefficient (n2/Aeff) of standard single-mode fiber (SMF) and dispersion-shifted fiber (DSF). Two different measurement methods were used by several researchers. One of the methods is based on the detection of the Kerr phase shift by a self-aligned interferometer. The other method is an SPM-based CW dual-frequency method. Interlaboratory comparison shows that the values found with the two methods are in good agreement.
