  3. Self-phase modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-phase_modulation

    Self-phase modulation (SPM) is a nonlinear optical effect of light – matter interaction. An ultrashort pulse of light, when travelling in a medium, will induce a varying refractive index of the medium due to the optical Kerr effect. [1] This variation in refractive index will produce a phase shift in the pulse, leading to a change of the ...
