Abstract :
Wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) optical systems are affected by cross-phase modulation (XPM) due to Kerr effect. In this letter, dispersion compensated optical WDM systems affected by XPM are investigated by an analytical model. The theoretical results fit rather well with previous simulations performed in the case of fully compensated and under compensated optical fiber links.
