Abstract :
Electrostriction is identified as one of the main sources of crosstalk in CATV networks using WDM and sub-carrier multiplexing. The contribution of electrostriction to crosstalk is experimentally investigated for up to 8 WDM channels and enhancements of the overall crosstalk level of up to 5 dB are observed.
