Abstract:
We study the impact of channel correlations on the accumulation of nonlinear interference noise in WDM transmission experiments. Theoretical predictions, split-step simulations and experimental measurements indicate negligible impact for QPSK transmission, but notably strong artifacts for high-order QAM formats.
