In this paper, the XPM-induced crosstalk has been evaluated with third order Dispersion in SCM-WDM optical communication system at different optical powers for various parameters (dispersion, transmission length, effective area and modulation frequency) that play an important role in signal transmission. Results show that as the dispersion, transmission length and modulation frequency parameters increase, crosstalk increases with increase in optical powers and effective areas increase, crosstalk decreases with increase in optical power.
