title: Probability based modeling of cross phase modulation in 16-QAM dispersion compensated coherent systems.
abstract: A probability-based model is developed to describe cross phase modulation in multichannel multilevel amplitude/phase modulated coherent systems. Standard deviation of nonlinear phase-shift is evaluated in 16-QAM coherent systems accordingly and by numerical simulation for different values of chromatic dispersion and symbol rate. Furthermore, an error analysis is provided to evaluate the accuracy of the model which demonstrates maximum relative error of 12% in the field of interest.
