Media type: E-Article Title: The effect of IP traffic burstiness on four‐wave mixing crosstalk in WDM networks Contributor: Tang, Junhua; Zhang, Liren; Siew, Chee‐Kheong Published: Wiley, 2003 Published in: Microwave and Optical Technology Letters, 37 (2003) 3, Seite 212-214 Language: English DOI: 10.1002/mop.10872 ISSN: 0895-2477; 1098-2760 Keywords: Electrical and Electronic Engineering ; Condensed Matter Physics ; Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics ; Electronic, Optical and Magnetic Materials Origination: Footnote: Description: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>The effect of bursty IP traffic on the statistics of four‐wave mixing in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) networks is studied in terms of the distribution of the actual four‐wave mixing power under different IP traffic conditions. A novel approach for estimating the average four‐wave mixing power in WDM network with bursty IP traffic is presented. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
