Abstract

A dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) system improves the capacity of an optical communication system. On the other hand, nonlinear effects are critical issues that limit the performance of the DWDM system. The nonlinear effects of self-phase modulation, cross-phase modulation, and four-wave mixing affect optical communication’s capacity. This paper focuses on mitigating the nonlinear effect of cross-phase modulation in the DWDM system with a suitable technique.

Keywords: cross-phase modulation; four-wave mixing; nonlinearity; self-phase modulation
