TODO - A detailed investigation of the influence of the zero dispersion
wavelength variation on the optimum design parameters of a phase
conjugator based on four wave mixing in dispersion shifted fiber is
carried out. We calculate the conversion efficiency and the SBR of the
conjugator including different schemes of zero dispersion wavelength
variation (lambda(o)) along the DSF. We show that the values of the
optimum design parameters calculated with the inclusion of lambda(o)
variation differ significantly from those calculated assuming constant
lambda(o). An experimental verification of the calculated results is
also carried out. We compare the measured conversion efficiency and SBR
for different DSF lengths and at different pump powers with those
predicted numerically. The DSF pieces used in the experiments are fully
characterized in terms of attenuation, chromatic dispersion and
polarization mode dispersion. The comparison between theory and
experiment appears to be very satisfying.
