Nonlinear Crosstalk in Dispersive SCM- WDM Optical Communication Systems

摘要

In this paper, theoretical investigations for crosstalk between the channels of sub-carrier wavelength-division multiplexed (SCM- WDM) optical communication systems have been reported. The crosstalk has been evaluated by including the impact of SRS and XPM. Further, the XPM-induced crosstalk has been evaluated by including the influence of higher-order dispersion. Moreover, It has been observed that the SRS-induced crosstalk is dominating over XPM.
