In particular, these considerations apply to a class of nonlinear effects which includes self-phase modulation (2), envelope soliton propagation (3), longitudinal self-confinement (4), degene rate four-wave mixing (5)(6) and nonlinear modal noise (7); all of these are third-order self-induced effects, that is the nonlinear polarizability with which they are connected is cubic in the propagating field and vibrates at (approximately) its frequency.
