Abstract

The saturation of self-organized second-harmonic generation in optical fibers, predicted by a model we have recently derived, is verified by calculating the saturation value of the ratio I_2(omega )/I_(omega )² using experimental data of some previous experiments. It was found that the value of (I_2(omega )/I_(omega )²)_sat determined experimentally ranges from 0.3 multiplied by 10^-16 m²/W to 2 multiplied by 10^-16 m²/W, which is in reasonable agreement with the theoretical predictions. The self-organized parametric down conversion is proposed for a very effective preparation of optical fibers.
