Self phase modulation (SPM)- Optical fiber simulation transmission

Example 5: Self phase modulation (SPM)

The phase of an optical signale is modulated along the fiber by the non linear Kerr effect.

The phase shift of a signal at wavelenght $\lambda$ by self phase modulation is being caused by the power of the X- and the Y polarisation at $\lambda$: $$\phi_x(t) = -\biggl( |E_x(t)|^2 + \frac{2}{3} |E_y(t)|^2 \biggr) L_{eff} \gamma$$ $$\phi_y(t) = -\biggl( |E_y(t)|^2 + \frac{2}{3} |E_x(t)|^2 \biggr) L_{eff} \gamma$$ where $L_{eff}$ defines the effective length of a fiber $$ L_{eff} = \frac{1- e^{-L\alpha}}{\alpha}. $$ Here $\alpha$ has to be used as a linear factor in 1/km.
