A mathematical description of the spectral and temporal changes in a probe pulse occurring as a result of cross‐phase modulation interaction between the probe pulse and a soliton with a nonoverlapping spectrum and different delay copropagating in a single‐mode fiber was obtained. We show that information on the time delay between a soliton and a probe pulse can be extracted by analyzing the probe pulse spectral density distribution. This information can be used to measure timing jitter in a soliton communication systems. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
