The ISRS GN Model, an Efficient Tool in Modeling Ultra-Wideband Transmission in Point-to-Point and Network Scenarios

Abstract

An analytical model to estimate nonlinear performance in ultra-wideband optical transmission networks is presented. The model accurately accounts for inter-channel stimulated Raman scattering, variably loaded fibre spans and is validated through C+L band simulations for uniform and probabilistically shaped 64-QAM.
