Abstract
In high bit-rate multiwavelength optical transmission systems, self-phase (SPM) and cross-phase (XPM) modulation interact with the fiber chromatic dispersion producing intensity distortion on the transmitted signals.
In this paper, starting from a generalization of the model of Wang and Petermann [1], which approximately predicts the effect of phase-to-intensity modulation (PM/IM) conversion in purely linear fibers, we introduce a new analytical model of the intensity distortions induced by SPM and XPM. The model well captures the distributed generation of SPM (XPM) by accounting for the PM/IM conversion due to the infinitesimal SPM (XPM) components generated in each infinitesimal segment along the fiber.
