Four wave mixing nonlinearity effect in wavelength division multiplexing radio over fiber system

The integration of wireless and optical networks is a potential solution for the increasing capacity and mobility as well as decreasing costs in the access networks. Optical networks are fast, robust and error free, however, there are nonlinearity obstacles preventing them from being perfect media....

Four wave mixing nonlinearity effect in wavelength division multiplexing radio over fiber system
description The integration of wireless and optical networks is a potential solution for the increasing capacity and mobility as well as decreasing costs in the access networks.

The performance of wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) in radio over fiber (RoF) systems is found to be strongly influenced by nonlinearity characteristics in side the fiber. The effect of four wave mixing (FWM) as one of the influential factors in the WDM for RoF has been studied here using Optisystem and Matlab.
