Abstract :
The study of subcarrier-multiplexed lightwave systems has led to the understanding of numerous linear and nonlinear effects in fiber systems. We present two examples, cross-polarization modulation with polarization-dependent loss, and intensity noise caused by stimulated Brillouin scattering.
