Abstract

In this research review paper we have given a brief introduction about WDM systems and discussed various nonlinear effects in WDM effects like Self-Phase Modulation, Cross-Phase Modulation, Four Wave Mixing, Stimulated Raman Scattering and Stimulated Brillouin Scattering. Our main concentration is on FWM effects and its mediation. Also, theoretical analysis of various parameters that have a major effect in inducing or reducing FWM has been carried out. We have also introduced certain techniques that can be used to mitigate the FWM effects by optimizing Q-factor and Min. BER values in WDM systems.
