Optical amplifiers not only permit
propagation of lightwave signals over thousand of
kilometers, they also enables the use of massive WDM system
and have led to the development of lightwave systems with
capacities exceeding 1Tb/s. Fiber nonlinearities plays a
very important role in designing such high capacity
lightwave system. Two such nonlinear effects, cross-phase
modulation (XPM) and self-phase modulation (SPM) are the
prime subjects of concern in this book. XPM and SPM are two
