Abstract:

Fiber optic communication has revolutionized telecommunication systems. The need for large transmission capacity has driven the rapid development of fiber optic communication. Nonlinear fiber optics plays the important role in the design of such high-capacity lightwave systems. Nonlinear optics deals with the behavior of light in nonlinear media. Nonlinear effects in the optical fiber occurring due to nonlinear refractive index are Self-Phase Modulation (SPM), Cross-Phase Modulation (XPM), Four-Wave Mixing (FWM). Nonlinear effects are useful for designing lasers, amplifiers, switches, multiplexers, demultiplexers, logic devices etc. But they can limit performances of optical fibers. Nonlinear effects are reviewed using OptiSystem simulation results in this paper.
