by the fiber when the |

| ultrafast
laser pulse is in the |

| anomalous
dispersion region. |

| • | The pulse intensity begins to |

| self
Raman shift to longer |
|||||||||||||
| wavelengths. |
|||||||||||||
| • | Due to break up of these |

| higher
order solitons, four-wave |

| mixing
generates frequencies |

| at
wavelengths shorter than |

| zero
dispersion wavelength. |
