Abstract

A scheme that compensates the waveform distortion induced by nonlinear interchannel crosstalk such as four-wave mixing (FWM) and cross-phase modulation as well as self-phase modulation in phase-locked wavelength-division-multiplexing transmission systems is proposed. Reduction of FWM-induced waveform distortion by controlling the phase relationship between neighbouring channels and its cancellation by precompensation is successfully demonstrated
