Abstract
The authors investigate the influence of inter-bit four-wave mixing on optical time division multiplexed transmission. The effect is caused by pulse broadening due to fibre dispersion and four-wave mixing betwe en overlapped pulses. The authors also confirm this effect experimenta lly and show that there is an optimum pulsewidth to reduce both four-w ave mixing and self-phase-modulation effects.
