Abstract

Four-wave mixing (FWM) is one of the major limiting factors in WDM optical fiber communication systems. In this paper, we analyze the individual and combined effect of second-, third-, fourth- and fifth-order dispersion parameters on FWM at different input channel powers and core effective areas, which have not been calculated earlier. FWM power versus channel power graphs for individual and combined effects of dispersion parameters have been presented, and it has been observed that FWM reduces for combined effect of dispersion parameter.
