Abstract
Using a single ultrashort optical pulse propagating through a short nonbirefringent single-mode optical fiber, we have observed degenerate-cross-phase modulation of the two orthogonal circularly polarized components of the pulse. The spectral broadening of the two polarization components in the single laser pulse is attributed to self-phase modulation (SPM), degenerate-cross-phase modulation (DXPM), and interference between SPM and DXPM.
