Abstract
A closed-form formula for the nonlinear interference (NLI) estimation using the Gaussian noise (GN) model in the presence of inter-channel stimulated Raman scattering (ISRS) is derived. The formula enables accurate estimation of the NLI evolution along any portion of the fibre span together with arbitrary values of optical fibre losses. The formula also accounts for wavelength-dependent fibre parameters, variable modulation formats and launch power profiles. The formula is suitable for ultra-wideband (UWB) optical transmission systems and its accuracy is assessed for a system with 20 THz optical bandwidth over the entire S-, C-, and L- band through comparison with numerical integration of the ISRS GN model and split-step Fourier method (SSFM) simulations in point-to-point transmission and inline NLI estimation scenarios.
