A novel method to suppress the crosstalk of the system with dispersion compensated by fiber gratings

Abstract: In this article, a novel method is proposed to suppress the nonlinear crosstalk of the system with dispersion compensated by several multi-wavelength fiber gratings. Random time delay is induced only between the adjacent channels to suppress the cross modulation effects and the four wave mixing effects simultaneously. Using this method, the system performance could be improved effectively. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
