Statistical analysis of nonlinear coupling in a WDM system over a two mode fiber

We study the effect of nonlinear coupling in a WDM configuration over a two-mode fiber. A statistical analysis is presented that takes into account the effect of the random phase-sensitive amplification or depletion. Our results show high nonlinear coupling between the modes. We have quantified the...

Description
Summary:We study the effect of nonlinear coupling in a WDM configuration over a two-mode fiber. A statistical analysis is presented that takes into account the effect of the random phase-sensitive amplification or depletion. Our results show high nonlinear coupling between the modes. We have quantified the channel power fluctuations, due to the wave phase random variations, at the output of the fiber. We also investigate the effect of random linear mode coupling on the nonlinear mode coupling.
