Some characteristics of supercontinuum generation in the dispersion-shifted
-fiber are studied both in theory and experiment. The theoretical research
shows how the fiber nonlinearities, such as self-phase-modulation, four-wav
e-mixing and cross-phase-modulation, play their roles in the supercontinuum
generation. Some dependent parameters of supercontinuum generation, such a
s the fiber length, the pump power are also discussed in this paper. The ex
perimental results agree well with the theoretical simulations.
