Abstract
In the various discussions concerning the propagation of light in material media such as silica optical fibers, in the previous chapters we have been dealing with linear processes. By this we mean that a light beam of a certain optical frequency which enters a given medium will leave the medium with the same frequency, although the amplitude and phase of the wave will, in general, be altered.
