Abstract :
Intrachannel cross-phase modulation and four-wave mixing in high-bit-rate WDM transmission systems employing standard single-mode fiber are investigated. The effects of imperfect third-order dispersion compensation are included in the study and analytical expressions giving optimum values of dispersion precompensation minimizing the distortion due to the intrachannel nonlinear effects are derived.
