Abstract

We derive a new expression for the XPM-induced intensity distortion for a CW probe channel by using the Volterra series transfer function (VSTF) method. The new result can work in situations with both small and large dispersion. We also use the new result to study the effect of frequency chirping on the XPM-induced intensity distortion. For multiple span systems, the accumulated nonlinear phases which are frequency chirping for the input signals to the following spans will eventually become large enough to be nonnegligible
