Suppose the following situation:

OCh1:

Pin = -4dBm

Max Interchannel crosstalk at Rx = -40dBc

Tx OSNR (InBand) = 35 dB/0.1nm

Min Rx OSNR = 12 dB/0.1nm @ -20 dBm

OCh2:

Pin = 0dBm

Max Interchannel crosstalk at Rx = -40dBc

Tx OSNR (In-Band) = 40 dB/0.1nm

Tx OSNR (Out-of-Band) = 35 dB/0.1nm

How can I estimate the effect of the linear crosstalk of OCh2 over OCh1 in a coherent multichannel system?

Thanks in advance!
