Abstract
Accurate determination of the nonlinear coefficient of optical fibers continues to be an issue because of the importance of nonlinear effects in amplified optical transmission systems.1 Designers prefer determination of N2 near the system wavelength of 1.55 μm as opposed to extrapolations from measurement’s at shorter wavelengths. Unfortunately, recent published results for N2 at 1.55 μm are not in agreement with one another even for fibers of similar design.2
