Abstract :
The impact of cross-phase modulation on 10-Gb/s nonreturn-to-zero 50-GHz spaced transparent optical networks employing mixed-fibers is investigated. The measured impairments verified our analytical model and are compared to systems with standard single-mode fiber or nonzero dispersion-shifted fiber only.
