Abstract
This letter describes the four-wave-mixing (FWM) suppression effect of dispersion varying fiber (DVF) whose chromatic dispersion increases ( or decreases) along its length. The FWM suppression performance is inv estigated for the dispersion variation rate and its cycle number in th e DVF. Moreover, it is clarified experimentally that the DVF functions efficiently in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) systems with an input power of more than 10 dBm/ch.
