Use of high-powered laser devices in fiber optics transmission systems (FOTS) cause various nonlinear optical effects (NOE) appearance in optical fibres. This is caused by comparatively small optical fibres diameter and high optical transmission signal power. OF that is used in telecommunications do not posses high nonlinear coefficient, but nonlinearities start to occur at high light intensities and long transmission distances. In this research we used three methods (continuous wave self phase modulation (CW SPM), pulse pattern self phase modulation (P-SPM) and cross phase modulation (XPM)), but better results, compared simulations and experiments, we obtained by the P-SPM method.
