Abstract

Investigating the nonlinear interactions of the picosecond optical pulses with different frequencies in monomode optical fiber, one must take into consideration both linear effects. the dispersion and the group delay between waves. Besides, some additional nonlinear effects, as cross-phase modulation (CPM), four-photon parametric mixing (FPM), Raman amplifier (RA), appears. For optical pulses with soliton's powers as a rule, the group delay dominates among all other effects. Nevertheless there are some important cases, when it is possible to compensate group delay trough the nonlinear mechanisms.
