The integration of wireless and optical networks increases the capacity and mobility as well as decreases costs in the access networks. However, there are nonlinearity and obstacles preventing them from being perfect media. A serious issue for WDM systems is the presence of resonant four wave mixing (FWM) terms, as a result of interactions between different channels. FWM presents a major source of non-linear cross talk since they often fall near or on top of the desired signals. So the best solution is to avoid the FWM generation from early design stages. The effect of four wave mixing (FWM) as one of the influential factors in the WDM for RoF has been studied here using Optisystem. The investigation of FWM effect with different number of channels at various channel spacing has also been done. The simulation results reveal that the less number of users at input cause less FWM but in today’s technology, it is important for the circuit to handle WDM.

The channels contributed in creating new pulse during the four-wave mixing (FWM) process are a subject of two features: the first is the fact that all channels are not working with probability %100 , but with p probability. Second, the bits transmitted are not all "1". Therefore, the equation of power generated using these features should be corrected. On the other hand, the use of equally spaced channels wavelength divisionmultiplexing (ESC WDM) system cause an increase in the number of new components generated that interfere with the active channels and increase the bit error rate. In order to reduce these interferences, we have provided an unequally spaced channels wavelength division-multiplexing (USC WDM) system composed of several sets. Each set consists of only four channels, which locations have been selected to cause no interferences between them. Neighboring sets are separated by a frequency spacing which should be large enough to reduce the interferences between the sets, andsmall enough to increase the total number of channels of the system.
