Abstract
Recent trends in communications are toward longer fiber lengths, higher data rates, and higher laser power. With these trends, the effects of optical nonlinearities due to the intensity-dependent refractive index n2 and the effects of linear second-order dispersion [β(3) = α3β/dω3] can no longer be regarded as negligible but can combine so as to cause a significant reduction in the available communications bandwidth of single-mode fibers.
