Abstract
In WDM transmission systems, the transmission characteristics are degraded through the fiber nonlinearities effects such as cross-phase modulation (XPM), fourwave mixing (FWM) and so on. Recently, various technique to improve the transmission characteristics have been developed. In this paper, to compensate waveform distortion due to fiber nonlinearity, a novel WDM system using spread spectrum communication technique is proposed. The proposed system can suppress the XPM effects.
