AbstractIn this paper, we investigate the effect of channel spacing and chromatic dispersion on four wave mixing in WDM system. Dominating effect of four wave mixing is minimizing at maximum value of dispersion and channel spacing. Power of FWM, Q-factor, bit error rate and output spectrum is used to measure the performance of system.

The channels contributed in creating new pulse during the four-wave mixing (FWM) process are a subject of two features: the first is the fact that all channels are not working with probability %100 , but with p probability. Second, the bits transmitted are not all "1". Therefore, the equation of power generated using these features should be corrected. On the other hand, the use of equally spaced channels wavelength divisionmultiplexing (ESC WDM) system cause an increase in the number of new components generated that interfere with the active channels and increase the bit error rate. In order to reduce these interferences, we have provided an unequally spaced channels wavelength division-multiplexing (USC WDM) system composed of several sets. Each set consists of only four channels, which locations have been selected to cause no interferences between them. Neighboring sets are separated by a frequency spacing which should be large enough to reduce the interferences between the sets, andsmall enough to increase the total number of channels of the system.

<span>In this paper, electro-optic phase modulator (EOPM) is used to reduce the effect of four-wave mixing (FWM), which is placed after 64 DWDM-channels multiplexer. It was found that the FWM is very sensitive to the phase deviation of the EOPM, and it can be reduced by introducing a phase shift between pulses. The simulation results confirmed the ability of the EOPM in improving the system performanceas indicated by the bit error rates. In term of comparison, the system of 64 channels based intensity modulated/ direct detection (IM/DD) transmission achieved bit error rate of 10<sup>-26</sup> over 30 km and 70km without and with EOPM, respectively.</span>
