Abstract
Under a set of broadly justified simplifiying assumptions, an analytical approach to the problem of cross phase modulation in optical fibers is presented. Simple analytical expressions describing intensity interference caused by cross-phase modulation (XPM) are derived. It turns out that within a physically realizable range of parameters the power penalties induced by XPM have a linear dependence on the power of the interfering signal. Examples of specific systems are presented and discussed.
