Abstract :
This letter describes the four-wave-mixing (FWM) suppression effect of dispersion varying fiber (DVF) whose chromatic dispersion increases (or decreases) along its length. The FWM suppression performance is investigated for the dispersion variation rate and its cycle number in the DVF. Moreover, it is clarified experimentally that the DVF functions efficiently in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) systems with an input power of more than 10 dBm/ch.
