Abstract:A semi-analytical, real-time nonlinear-interference model including ASE noise in hybrid-amplified links is introduced. Combined with particle-swarm optimisation, the capacity of a hybrid-amplified 10.5 THz 117x57 km link was maximised, increasing throughput by 12% versus an EDFAs-only configuration.
Abstract:We present the first experimental demonstration of learned time-domain digital back-propagation (DBP), in 64-GBd dual-polarization 64-QAM signal transmission over 1014 km. Performance gains were comparable to those obtained with conventional, higher complexity, frequency-domain DBP.
