Roma, Italy 1 INTRODUCTION The long interaction length between radiation and material medium provided, thanks to their guidance capacity and low attenua_ tion, by optical fibers has furnished the opportunity of investiga_ ting nonlinear optical processes in glass at relatively low input powers (1). This study has in turn led either to realize the possi_ bility of taking advantage of some of these effects for increasing the fiber capability of carrying information or the necessity of avoiding some of them because of a negative influence on fiber tran_ smission.
