The simultaneous measurement of the nonlinear refractive index and the chromatic dispersion measurement of dispersion shift fibers are proposed, based on the power determination of the mixing products generated by four pump waves. This method is also used with other low‐dispersion chromatic dispersion fiber, such as nonzero dispersion shifted fibers. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
