In recent years, there is increasing interest in using dual-polarization (DP) technique to enable future systems with at least 100 Gb/s rate per channel to operate over existing optical networks. The performance of these advanced systems can be enhanced further by using CO-OFDM technique which offers high spectral efficiency and outstanding tolerance of fiber dispersion.This work addresses the effect of fiber nonlinear optics on the performance of dual polarization CO-OFDM/WDM system operating with 100 Gb/s per channel. Different modulation formats, namely BPSK, QPSK and 16-QAM, are used....
