Abstract
To reduce four-wave-mixing crosstalk in wavelength-division multiplexi ng (WDM) lightwave systems, an algebraic algorithm for finding the fre quency locations of unequal-spaced channels is reported. This algebrai c approach allows certain classes of 'optimum' channel locations to be obtained much faster than when using the recently reported computer e xhaustive search.
