Abstract
We simulated many-channel, wavelength-division-multiplexed optical fiber tr ansmission systems by following the full time-domain evolution for only a f ew channels around a target channel, while treating the rest of the channel s as continuous-wave radiation. We show a good agreement between our approa ch and full numerical simulations. By using our approach, one can greatly r educe the computation time compared with full simulations.
