  • Abstract
    The impact of cross-phase modulation (XPM) on WDM transmission was investigated for different bit rates up to 10 Gb/s/sup -1/ in a field experiment over the installed LEANET/UK fiber network and compared with laboratory experiments. Effects of interference between XPM components generated in concatenated fiber spans are reported.
