Abstract
Midspan spectral inversion (MSSI) using four-wave mixing (FWM) in dispersion-shifted fibers (DSF) has become an attractive technique for compensating for fiber dispersion.1 It is, however, important to investigate methods for increasing the conversion efficiency and the output power.2 We have studied the influence of the length of the DSF on the FWM efficiency, as well as on self-phase modulation (SPM), cross-phase modulation (XPM), and stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS).
