Hj. Thiele et al., Influence of transmission distance on XPM-induced intensity distortion in dispersion-managed, amplified fibre links, ELECTR LETT, 35(5), 1999, pp. 408-409
The variation of cross-phase modulation (XPM) induced distortion with trans
mission distance is investigated for dispersion-managed fibre links using a
recirculating loop. New results are reported showing the distance dependen
ce of the XPM-induced distortion in an IM-DD system on channel spacing and
dispersion. It is demonstrated that the acquired XPM distortion can be effe
ctively reduced by use of additional dispersive fibre at the receiver.
