A simple strategy for mitigating XPM in nonlinear WDM optical systems

Resilience to cross-phase modulation (XPM) can be improved by employing multicarrier modulation formats. The impact of the number of subcarriers on the achievable information rate is discussed and a possible XPM compensation strategy is suggested.
