  • Abstract
    The relative impact of four-wave mixing (FWM) and cross phase modulation (XPM) is investigated by treating them as noiselike impairments. We show that XPM affects wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) transmission more strongly than FWM for the range of fiber parameters investigated.
