Abstract

We analyze the spectral energy redistribution among Wavelength Division Multiplexed (WDM) channels due to nonlinear interactions in low dispersion fibers. We present numerical results on a 4 channel at 10 Gb/s per channel system with launched power levels appropriate to overcome very long haul links of dispersion shifted fiber without repeaters. A characteristic spectral shaping is observed where the central channels are less (more) depleted relative to the outermost channels in the normal (anomalous) dispersion region of the fiber
