Add-drop Multiplexing for Full Spectrum WDM NFDM Transmission Systems using Spectral Overlap

Advanced Photonics Congress, pp. SpTh1H.2

Abstract

We present add-drop multiplexing for full spectrum modulated WDM nonlinear frequency division multiplexed transmission systems, in which spectral overlap between channels is used to eliminate nonlinear inter-channel crosstalk.
