Abstract
By using a frequency resolved optical gating to characterise an optica l pulse both before and after propagation in a length of standard sing lemode fibre, the authors have simultaneously determined the fibre's n onlinear refractive index n(2) and group velocity dispersion. Over the wavelength range 1534-1559 nm, an average n(2) = (2.53 +/- 0.09) x 10 (-20) m(2) W-1 (linear polarisation) was measured and dispersion chara cteristics which are in good agreement with specifications were obtain ed.
