Abstract :
Nonlinear effects in the transmission fiber, like self-phase modulation, cross-phase modulation, four-wave mixing, and stimulated Raman scattering will limit the ultimate capacity of long-haul WDM systems. We discuss the impact of the fiber characteristics on the ultimate limit and draw conclusions for the best choice of the transmission fiber.
