AB  - An improved split-step method (SSM) for digital backward propagation (DBP) 
      applicable to wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) transmission with 
      polarization-division multiplexing (PDM) is presented. A coupled system of 
      nonlinear partial differential equations, derived from the Manakov equations, is 
      used for DBP. The above system enables the implementation of DBP on a 
      channel-by-channel basis, where only the effect of phase-mismatched four-wave 
      mixing (FWM) is neglected. A novel formulation of the SSM for PDM-WDM systems is 
      presented where new terms are included in the nonlinear step to account for 
      inter-polarization mixing effects. In addition, the effect of inter-channel 
      walk-off is included. This substantially reduces the computational load compared 
      to the conventional SSM.
