摘要: We study the role of cross-phase modulation (CPM) occurring between two counter-propagating parts a signal wave in standard SPM-based nonlinear optical fiber loop mirror (NOLM). For pulse train with high duty-cycle, we experimentally observe influence on NOLM transmittivity. Finally, propose solution based properly designed dispersion imbalanced to overcome undesirable CPM effects.
