Abstract
The 8/9 normalization coefficient for the nonlinear refractive index i n nonpolarization-maintaining optical fibers is confirmed directly by measurement of the ratio of the self- and cross-phase modulation coeff icients for two orthogonal polarizations. The nonlinear phase shift is accurately measured with a dual-frequency beat signal as a pump sourc e. (C) 1996 Optical Society of America
