Abstract

This paper proposes the new method to improve 
the conventional techniques in the channel allocations in order 
to reduce transmission loss in the case that a large number of 
channels are in close proximity to each other. This phenomenon, 
called Four-Wave Mixing (FWM), can be observed in the case 
of Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) which is 
the cause of transmission loss due to the nonlinear 
characteristic of the fiber. The channel allocations that can be 
utilized to resolve this problem are Equally Spaced (ES), 
Equally Repeated Unequally Spaced (ERUS) and Base-unit 
Repeated Unequally Spaced (BRUS). This paper presents the 
new technique of the channel allocation called ―Shift alternative 
repeated unequally spaced (SARUS)‖ to avoid the Four-Wave 
Mixing. From the simulation results, the new proposed 
technique can decrease an average FWM efficiency from -28.19dBm to -32.07dBm and reduce BER from -19.7dBm to -25.1dBm. Furthermore, the number of channels has been 
increased to 43 channels in DWDM transmission system 
(C–band). These results indicate that SARUS has a lower FWM 
efficiency than BRUS and other above mentioned techniques.
