Cross-phase modulation (XPM) changes the state-of-polarization (SOP) of the channels through nonlinear polarization rotation and induces nonlinear time dependent phase shift for polarization components that leads to amplitude modulation of the propagating waves in a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) system. Due to the presence of birefringence, the angle between the SOP changes randomly and as a result polarization mode dispersion (PMD) causes XPM modulation amplitude fluctuation random in the perturbed channel. In this paper we analytically determine the probability density function of the random angle between the SOP of pump and probe, and evaluate the impact of polarization mode dispersion on XPM in terms of bit error rate, channel spacing etc for a two channel intensity modulation-direct detection WDM system at 10 Gb/s. It is found that the XPM induced crosstalk is polarization independent for channel spacing greater than 3 nm or PMD coefficient larger than 2 ps/√km. We also investigate the dependence of SOP variance on PMD coefficient and channel spacing.

In this paper, the basic theoretical foundations regarding a DWDM [Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing] network when using Raman configurations with DCF [Dispersion Compensation Fiber] are studied, through the revision of: linear effects, such as noise, loss, chromatic dispersion and PMD [Polarization Mode Dispersion]; and nonlinear effects, such as Self-Phase Modulation [SPM], Cross-Phase Modulation [XPM] and Four-Wave Mixing [FWM], compared to Optical Monitoring Parameters [OPM].
