Abstract

In multiwavelength optical distribution networks, where broadband and/or narrowband signals are transmitted at different optical wavelengths, high input optical powers are needed in order to compensate for the fiber and splitting losses. High input powers into dispersion-shifted fibers will give rise to nonlinear effects, such as four-wave mixing (FWM),^1,2 causing cross-talk between different optical channels.
