Abstract

The Raman time constant (T_R) used in the generalized nonlinear Schrodinger equation is determined experimentally to be around 1550 nm, based on the Raman self-frequency shift in standard single mode fiber. The measured effective value of the T_R is found to be 3.0 fs. Detailed error analysis shows that the uncertainty in the measurement is less than +/- 1.0 fs. Accurate knowledge of the value of the T_R is essential in modeling subpicosecond pulse propagation in optical fibers.
