Abstract
We investigate the conversion of cross-phase modulation (XPM) to intensity distortion due to dispersion in fibre Bragg grating (FBG) filters. We find that there can be significant XPM-induced intensity distortion, especially near the edges of the filter passband where the in-band dispersion is incre asingly pronounced. Since FBG filter dispersion occurs above and beyond tha t in standard single-mode fibre, this enhances XPM-induced intensity distor tion arising from dispersion and should be accounted for in system design.
