Abstract :
We have proposed to decrease the effects of intrachannel four-wave mixing in high data-rate systems by replacing each channel with two subcarrier multiplexed channels. This method trades off spectral efficiency for propagation distance, and it performs best for systems in which there is a large amount of pulse overlap. Consequently, the method may be useful when installed systems are upgraded to higher per-channel data rates.
