I. INTRODUCTION
Fiber optic communications have provided us with highspeed communications with enormous bandwidth potential.
Although fibers can support very high data rates, the
associated electronic processing hardware will typically not
be able to cope up with such high speeds [1]. Light has an
information-carrying capacity 10,000 times greater than the
highest radio frequencies. Additional advantages of fiber
over copper include the ability to carry signals over long
distances, low error rates, immunity to electrical interference,
security, and light weight.
Early WDM begun in the late 1980s using the two widely
spaced wavelengths in the 1310 nm and 1550 nm (or 850 nm
and 1310 nm) regions, sometimes called wideband WDM.
The early 1990s saw a second generation of WDM,
sometimes called narrowband WDM, in which two to eight
channels were used. These channels were now spaced at an
interval of about 400 GHz in the 1550-nm window [2].

A.Matlab Results
Figure 14 and Figure 15 shows the SRS effect for
different input optical power and for different channel
spacing. In this graph, it is observed that the increase in
optical input power leads to unwanted optical power tilt.
