The variation of cross-phase modulation (XPM) induced distortion with transmission distance is investigated for dispersion-managed fibre links using a recirculating loop. New results are reported showing the distance dependence of the XPM-induced distortion in an IM-DD system on channel spacing and dispersion. It is demonstrated that the acquired XPM distortion can be effectively reduced by use of additional dispersive fibre at the receiver.
