Fvc. Mendis et al., COMPARISON OF CROSS-MODULATION AND INTERMODULATION DISTORTION IN MULTICARRIER FIBER OPTIC SYSTEMS, Optical engineering, 34(1), 1995, pp. 58-62
Cross-modulation distortion arising from the dynamic nonlinearity of a
semiconductor laser is shown to be an important entity in a multicarr
ier fiber optic system. The interplay between cross-modulation distort
ion and intermodulation distortion is investigated for lasers operatin
g at 1.3 and 0.835 mu m.
