Abstract
Electrostriction-induced cross-phase modulation between subsequent bit s of a nonreturn-to-zero pulse train in optical fibers leads to nonlin ear frequency shifts of opposite sign for the 1's and the 0's. Direct experimental measurements of the electrostrictive and Kerr-induced non linear phase shift across the bit profiles agree well with the theoret ical modeling. (C) 1998 Optical Society of America.
