Abstract :
Summary form only given. Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) cross talk has been identified as a major obstacle to the implementation of analog wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) optical communication systems. Here we report, for the first time to our knowledge, a SRS crosstalk reduction obtained by a cancellation technique. The experimental setup is shown. An optical carrier, was intensity-modulated at the frequency (signal) by a Mach-Zehnder interferometric modulator.
