Abstract:A convolutional neural network is proposed to mitigate fiber transmission effects, achieving a five-fold reduction in trainable parameters compared to alternative equalizers, and 3.5 dB improvement in MSE compared to DBP with comparable complexity.
Abstract:Digital back-propagation (DBP) and learned DBP (LDBP) are proposed for nonlinearity mitigation in WDM dual-polarization dispersion-managed systems. LDBP achieves Q-factor improvement of 1.8 dB and 1.2 dB, respectively, over linear equalization and a variant of DBP adapted to DM systems.
