Abstract

Inter-channel crosstalk is one of the crucial issues in multichannel optical systems. Conventional studies assume that the crosstalk and the main signals have identical format. The present study, in contrast, considers different signal formats for the main and crosstalk lights, and shows that bit error degradation is different depending on the modulation format. Statistical properties of the crosstalk are also investigated. The result quantitatively confirms that a crosstalk light whose signal distribution is closer to a Gaussian profile causes larger degradation.
