Abstract
The impact of four wave mixing (FWM) as a function of the channel alignment is studied. A channel plan is proposed which minimizes FWM penalties while still agreeing with the ITU grid. We have shown that in order to demonstrate system performance under the effect of FWM it is necessary to control the alignment of the WDM channels with an accuracy significantly better than the bandwidth of the RX
