Resonances in cross-phase modulation impairment in wavelength-division-multiplexed lightwave transmission

TLDR
In this article, the authors have observed cross-phase modulation impairment resonances in wavelength division multiplexed lightwave systems when channels are spaced such that there occurs an integral number of bit walkthroughs per amplifier span.
Abstract
Cross-phase modulation impairment resonances exist in wavelength-division-multiplexed lightwave systems when channels are spaced such that there occurs an integral number of bit walkthroughs per amplifier span. We have observed these resonances in transmission through 624-km standard single-mode fiber systems having amplifier span lengths of 40, 80, or 120 km. Q measurements of a 2.5-Gb/s five-channel system over 8/spl times/80 km with +7 dBm/channel predict on-resonance bit-error rates (BER's) that are several orders of magnitude higher than off-resonance BER's.

Fiber-Optic Communications

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on how the nonlinear effects influence the design of wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) lightwave systems, and how an optical bit stream is affected by losses, group-velocity dispersion (GVD), and various nonlinear effect as it propagates down the fiber link.

Second-order theory for self-phase modulation and cross-phase modulation in optical fibers

TL;DR: In this article, a second-order perturbation technique for the study of self-phase modulation (SPM) and XPM effects in optical fibers was developed. But, the results obtained using the second order perturbations are in good agreement with numerical simulations even when the dispersion distance is longer than the nonlinear length.

Receiver design for digital fiber optic communication systems, II

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that a proper front-end design incorporates a high-impedance preamplifier which tends to integrate the detector output, and this must be followed by proper equalization in the later stages of the linear channel.

Cross-phase modulation in fiber links with multiple optical amplifiers and dispersion compensators

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors theoretically and experimentally investigated the cross-phase modulation (XPM) effect in optical fiber links with multiple optical amplifiers and dispersion compensators, and they showed that the XPM effect can be modeled as a phase modulator with inputs from the intensity of copropagating waves.

Dependence of cross-phase modulation on channel number in fiber WDM systems

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that cross-phase modulation does not limit the number of wavelength channels that a single optical fiber can support, and that even a moderate amount of dispersion tends to cancel out the influence of cross phase modulation, so that beyond a certain wavelength spacing, additional channels do not interfere with the channel under consideration.
