Abstract(in English) It was found by numerical analysis that a 320nm wide and flat spectrum at 20dB less than the central maximum intensity is generated from cross-phase modulated soliton pulses with a 3.5ps pulse width and a 2.3W peak power at central wavelength of 1.55μm by using a 2.4km length of dispersion-flattened/decreasing fiber(DFDF). The cross-phase modulaion(XPM)in optical fibers can be achieved by exciting two orthogonally polarized modes into the principal axes. The wave-vector mismatch between the orthogonal pulses can be neglected because of soliton trapping when the modal birefringence of the DFDF is less than|n_-n|=10^<-6>. However, it is noted that for a birefringent fiber of |n_-n|&gsim 10^<-5> soliton pulses propagate independently of each other and this fact results in a supercontinuum spectrum width of 280nm due to self-phase modulation alone[6].
