Nonlinear Parameter
The overall nonlinear quality of a fiber is quantified by the nonlinear parameter (γ), which accounts for both the material nonlinear response and design of the fiber waveguide. The nonlinear parameter relates the wavelength λ and effective area Aeff to the nonlinear index n2, where
