Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to reduce four-wave-mixing (FWM) noises with narrow total bandwidth in frequency-division-multiplexing optical fiber transmission systems. In this work, unequally spaced (US) frequency allocations using base units (BUs), which have US frequency allocations, are proposed, and dependence of the total bandwidth and FWM noises on the allocation of the BUs is investigated. When the frequency separations of the channels in the BUs are ascending arithmetic progressions, the lowest power penalty is obtained for the combination of the BUs with ascending bandwidths.
