B. K. Mishra, Lochan Jolly, Karishma Mhatre . Analysis of Four Wave Mixing Effect in WDM Communication System for Different Channel Spacing. International Conference and Workshop on Emerging Trends in Technology 2013. ICWET2013, 1 (April 2013), 36-40.
Four-wave mixing (FWM) is one of the dominating degradation effects in wavelength division-multiplexing (WDM) systems with dense channel spacing and low chromatic dispersion on the fiber. Four-wave mixing (FWM) is a parametric process in which different frequencies interact and by frequency mixing generate new spectral components. FWM can have important deleterious effects in optical fiber communications, particularly in the context of wavelength division multiplexing where it can cause cross-talk between different wavelength channels, and /or an imbalance of channel powers. The paper presents the design and performance analysis of four-wave mixing effect on the basis of output spectrums, eye diagrams, BER, eye opening and Q-factor for different values of channel spacing.
