Comparison of Multi-Channel Nonlinear Equalization using Inverse Volterra Series versus Digital Backpropagation in 400 Gb/s Coherent Superchannel
We investigate the performance of a Volterra-based nonlinear equalizer and the digitalbackpropagation (DBP) method in multi-channel nonlinear equalization after 20Ă—80 km transmission distance. The Volterra equalizer, which operates with single-step-per-span, performs similarly compared to DBP with 40 steps-per-span
Volterra-based nonlinear compensation in 400 Gb/s WDM multiband coherent optical OFDM systems
\u3cp\u3eWe apply a 3\u3csup\u3erd\u3c/sup\u3e-order inverse Volterra series nonlinear equalizer to a 400 Gb/s WDM multiband PM-16QAM OFDM signal. IVSTF-NLE provides a 0.6 dB Q-factor improvement and 1 dB nonlinear threshold increase compared to linear equalization.\u3c/p\u3
