Y. Namihira, RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN NONLINEAR EFFECTIVE AREA AND MODEFIELD DIAMETER FOR DISPERSION SHIFTED FIBERS, Electronics Letters, 30(3), 1994, pp. 262-264
The relationship between nonlinear effective area (A(eff)) and mode fi
eld diameter (MFD) is presented for the first time. The correction fac
tor k of A(eff) and MFD (= A(eff)/(pi/4) MFD2]) is found to be approxi
mately 0.944 for various dispersion shifted fibres (DSFs).
