<p><b>Cross-phase modulation (XPM)</b> is a <a href="page.php?w=Nonlinear_optics">nonlinear optical</a> effect where one wavelength of light can affect the phase of another wavelength of light through the optical <a href="page.php?w=Kerr_effect">Kerr effect</a>. When the optical power from a wavelength impacts the <a href="page.php?w=refractive_index">refractive index</a>, the impact of the new refractive index on another wavelength is known as XPM.</p>
