Abstract
An experimental investigation of the effects of launch power and polarisation on fibre four-wave mixing (FWM) in a multichannel coherent optical transmission system is reported. It is concluded that FWM can be an important consideration in the design of optical frequency division multiplexed transmission systems with launch powers greater than a few milliwatts in fibre with low chromatic dispersion.
