title: Efficient single-pass Raman generation in a GeO2 optical fiber and its application to measurement of chromatic dispersion.
abstract: To illustrate nonlinear-optical applications of germanium dioxide (GeO(2)) glass optical fibers, we have demonstrated efficient single-pass Raman generation in a GeO(2) fiber. We also measured the chromatic dispersion of high-silica glass (SiO(2)) single-mode optical fibers by using a GeO(2) fiber Raman laser.
