A fiber nonlinearity compensation scheme based on a complex-valued dimension-reduced neural network is proposed. The proposed scheme performs all calculations in complex values and employs a dimension-reduced triplet feature vector to reduce the size of the input layer. Simulation and experiment results show that the proposed neural network needed only 20% of computational complexity to reach the saturated performance gain of the real-valued triplet-input neural network, and had a similar saturated gain to the one-step-per-span digital backpropagation. In addition, the proposed scheme was 1.7 dB more robust to the noise from training data and required less bit precision for quantizing trained weights, compared with the real-valued triplet-input neural network.
A layer-reduced neural network based digital backpropagation algorithm called smoothing learned digital backpropagation (smoothing-LDBP), is proposed in this paper. The smoothing-LDBP smooths the power terms in nonlinear activation functions to limit the bandwidth. The limited bandwidth of the power terms generates fewer in-band distortions, thus reduces the required layer for a given equalization performance. Simulation results show that the required layers of smoothing-LDBP are reduced by approximately 62% at 6.7% HD-FEC compared with learned digital backpropagation. Owing to the layer reduction, the latency and the complexity are reduced by 69% and 51%, respectively. The layer-reduced property of smoothing-LDBP is also validated by a proof-of-concept experiment.
A nonlinear parameter optimized scheme based on peak power distribution is proposed for DBP algorithm. The 1 dB Q-factor gain is achieved in the simulation transmission of 32-GBaud PDM 16-QAM signal with a 24*100km single channel.
A complex-valued triplet-input neural network for fiber nonlinearity compensation is proposed. Numerical results show 0.2 dB Q factor improvement and 25% computational complexity reduction, compared with the real-valued triplet-input neural network.
