Abstract :
Channel crosstalk effects in wavelength-multiplexed subcarrier-multiplexing video transmission systems due to cross-phase modulation are investigated. The crosstalk level depends on the spacing of optical channels. For analogue CATV transmissions in the 1.5 μm window using normal singlemode fibre, it is shown that the number of achievable optical channels is severely limited by cross-phase modulation for typical system parameters
