As a result of the tight confinement of the laser beam in the fibre and the low dispersion properties of microstructured fibre, the pulse intensity remains high as the pulse propagates over many centimetres. This leads to strong nonlinear effects in the pulse shape and spectrum. The most important of these is self-phase modulation.
