摘要：

We present what we believe to be the first direct measurements of enhanced nonlinearities in large-modearea fibers due to bend induced reductions in effective area. Both Raman scattering and self-phase modulation are observed to increase in tightly coiled fibers. The measured increase in nonlinearity compares well with predictions from simulations of the modal effective area. (c) 2007 Optical Society of America.
