Impact of the fibre characteristics on four-wave mixing in the 1310-nm wavelength domain

In this article we investigate impact of the four wave mixing effect on the quality of the signal in DWDM system, that uses standard G.652 fibre as an optical medium, in the 1310 nm wavelength domain. In particular influence of the fibre parameters like attenuation, chromatic dispersion slope and effective mode area were examined. Moreover, the impact of the input signal extinction ratio was investigated. Simulation were performed as a function of the input power per channel of the modulated signal and channel spacing of the DWDM network.
