In this paper we present results of an investigation into the power penalty introduced by Stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS) in WDM systems with concentration on application of dispersion-shifted single-mode optical fibres (G.653) and unequal channel allocation schemes. System parameters based on ITU-T Recommendation G.692 and analytic formulas were used in calculations. It is shown that SRS does present a practical limitation to the multichannel systems. We also indicate limitations of the G.692 Recommendation and we point at directions of study in the area of nonlinear phenomena and multichannel systems.
