Abstract
Nonlinearity mitigation by mid-link spectral inversion (SI) in WDM systems is analyzed. It is shown that better cross-phase modulation (XPM) mitigation is achieved when the SI is applied to each channel but channel wavelengths are not exchanged in a dispersion-managed system. Such SI needs channel-by-channel SI that is suitably performed by electro-optic phase conjugators.
