Abstract :
A simple criterion is presented which describes the impact of interchannel nonlinearities in wavelength-division multiplexing systems with electronic precompensation of intrachannel nonlinearities. Furthermore, limits of electronic precompensation imposed by multiplexer filter bandwidth are explored.
