Abstract
Modulation instability (MI) interactions in WDM optical communication systems are shown to give rise to pulse distortion. These distortions are shown to be dependent on the data modulation format. The RZ modula tion format gives rise to less pulse distortion than NRZ even in the a bsence of amplifier noise. Power penalties paid for both modulation fo rmats are the same.
