Abstract
Modulation instability (MI) effects are analyzed in the context of WDM optical communication systems. me show how the interplay between four -wave mixing and modulation instability results in a modulation of the channel power as a function of the the channel spacing as well as the propagated distance. This modulation can cause severe power penalties . (C) 1998 John Wiley &Sons, Inc.
