The improvement of composite triple-beat distortion induced by cross-phase-modulation in wavelength-division-multiplexing CATV transmission systems with chirped fiber grating compensator

Abstract Composite triple-beat (CTB) distortion induced by cross-phase modulation (XPM) in a 1.55 μm wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) CATV transport system has been effectively improved, theoretically and experimentally, from −55.4 dBc to −60.8 dBc by using the chirped fiber grating to compensate the fiber dispersion.
