Investigation of Crosstalk Effects due to Optical Fiber Nonlinearities in WDM CATV Networks
Crosstalk due to optical fiber nonlinearities is an important parameter to be considered to determine the performance of WDM based CATV optical networks. In this paper we present the results of our investigation on the crosstalk due to stimulated Raman scattering and cross phase modulation. Due to the limited bandwidth availability for the upstream data communication in the CATV network, WDM technology is widely employed. We considered different WDM configurations of CATV network and investigated, both numerically and experimentally, the effect of these nonlinear effects with respect to optical power, wavelength spacing, transmission distance and carrier frequency.
