I. INTRODUCTION
Nonlinear optics (NLO) is the branch of optics that
describes the behaviour of light in nonlinear media, that is,
media in which the dielectric polarization P responds
nonlinearly to the electric field E of the light. This nonlinearity
is typically observed only at very high light intensities (values
of the electric field comparable to inter atomic electric fields,
typically 108 V/m) such as those provided by pulsed lasers.
When an optical signal is transmitted through long haul
communication systems (the transmission of a light signal over
fiber for distances typically longer than 100 km) of optical
fiber, a significant distortion will be seen in the received signal.
Distortion could be result of chromatic and polarization mode
dispersion in Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) and fiber
nonlinearitys in Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM)
impact transmission performance. Nonlinear effects play a
major role in optical fiber with respect to transmission capacity
and performance of the system. To achieve maximum

VI. CONCLUSIONS
Nonlinear effects arose as optical fiber data rates,
transmission lengths, number of wavelengths, and optical
power levels increases. This nonlinearity is typically only
observed at very high light intensities (values of the electric
field comparable to inter atomic electric fields, typically
108 V/m) such as those provided by pulsed lasers. The
behaviour of SPM versus the optical power for two spans
amplified system has been investigated. By increasing the
power, SPM grows and depletes the signal, and the measured
power actually decreases with the increase of the transmitted
power. Specifically the eye opening decreases with increasing
transmitted power. Four-wave mixing (FWM) is a type of
optical Kerr effect, and occurs when light of two or more
different wavelengths is launched into a fiber. Generally
speaking FWM occurs when light of three different
wavelengths is launched into a fiber, giving rise to a new wave
(known as an idler), the wavelength of which does not coincide
with any of the others.
