Abstract :
A comprehensive numerical and experimental study of 40 Gbit/s RZ transmission is presented which reveals two new forms of nonlinear interactions that limit the speed of high-speed systems. Both limitations originate from nonlinear interactions among neighbouring bits. The first interaction involves cross-phase modulation and leads to timing fluctuations while the second interaction originates from four-wave mixing and leads to the creation of shadow pulses
