Abstract

The mechanism of nonlinear crosstalk in WDM-SCM fiber communication systems is investigated. Then the crosstalk suppression method of complementary modulation of twin carriers is introduced and discussed. Aiming at the limitation of this method, a new method named symmetric carrier complementary modulation is presented, and it has shown satisfactory effect in crosstalk reduction.
