End-to-end Autoencoder for Superchannel Transceivers with Hardware Impairments

We propose an end-to-end learning-based approach for superchannel systems impaired by non-ideal hardware component. Our system achieves up to 60% SER reduction and up to 50% guard band reduction compared with the considered baseline scheme

Over-the-fiber Digital Predistortion Using Reinforcement Learning

We demonstrate, for the first time, experimental over-the-fiber training of transmitter neural networks (NNs) using reinforcement learning. Optical back-to-back training of a novel NN-based digital predistorter outperforms arcsine-based predistortion with up to 60\% bit-error-rate reduction
