Abstract
Optical dispersive nonlinearities in Er-doped optical fiber are discussed and measured at the third window wavelength 1.55 μm for optical communications firstly. The experimental method, which is developed by us, is based on dynamic scanning for fixed-point-interference (DSFPI) of two fiber beams. The real part and complex value of the third-order susceptibility at the wavelength are also obtained from the measured Kerr coefficient and nonlinear-absorption coefficient reported elsewhere.
