Abstract:
Intrachannel four-wave mixing (IFWM) in highly dispersed differential phase-shift keying (DPSK) transmission systems is studied with a simple analytical model and numerical simulation. It is found that the IFWM effect in DPSK systems is smaller and less dependent on the bit pattern than in on-off-keying systems with the same average power. The reduced pulse energy in DPSK and correlation between the nonlinear phase shifts of two adjacent pulses contribute to the robustness of DPSK versus IFWM.

Interference: Path Lengths
Two special sources may be considered when they are in phase. This can be easily achieved by feeding the two sources from the same source. An example would be synchronizing the two speakers by feeding them with the same source, such as the sound waves produced by a tuning fork. This setup ensures that the two sources have the same frequency and are...

Consider a scenario where a wave propagates from a string of low linear mass density to a string of high linear mass density. In such a case, the reflected wave is out of phase with respect to the incident wave, however the...
