Silica-based optical fibers are now being used in various applications which utilize nonlinear effects in fiber. In addition to enhancing nonlinearity of optical fibers, tailoring chromatic dispersion is one of the important design issues in such applications. Highly nonlinear dispersion-shifted fibers have been developed, and a very compact wavelength converter module has been demonstrated by using the fiber. Dispersion-flattened and dispersion-decreasing fibers have also been proved to be highly effective for supercontinuum generation.
