Characterization of the Link Function in GN and EGN methods for Nonlinearity Assessment of Ultrawideband Coherent Fiber Optic Communication Systems with Raman Effect

Abstract

In this paper, we present an accurate and numerically efficient method to implement the GN and EGN nonlinearity prediction methods when the power evolution along the fiber is in an arbitrary form. This approach will provide us with a reliable tool to efficiently use GN and Enhanced GN (EGN) methods for analysis of the nonlinearity for ultrawideband coherent fiber optic WDM systems (C+L band or even wider bandwidth systems) in the presence of the Inter-channel Stimulated Raman Scattering (ISRS) and systems using forward-pumped or/and backward-pumped Raman amplification.
