<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black">A brief introduction to nonlinear optics is provided by presenting basic models for the nonlinear susceptibility, showing how they are incorporated into the wave equation
and how the wave equation is solved. Then, a few nonlinear interactions that involve non-resonant processes are described that are important in fiber transmission. These include self- and cross-phase modulation and four-wave mixing. The conditions for the
formation and the main properties of optical solitons are also discussed. Next, a few nonlinear processes that are based on some form of material resonance are described. The major focus is on effects by which the fiber acts as a gain medium, namely stimulated
Raman scattering and stimulated Brillouin scattering.</span></i><o:p></o:p></p>
