Compensation of intra-channel nonlinear fibre impairments using simplified digital back-propagation algorithm

TLDR
A digital back-propagation simplification method is investigated to enable computationally-efficient digital nonlinearity compensation for a coherently-detected 112 Gb/s polarization multiplexed quadrature phase shifted keying transmission over a 1,600 km link with no inline compensation.
Abstract
We investigate a digital back-propagation simplification method to enable computationally-efficient digital nonlinearity compensation for a coherently-detected 112 Gb/s polarization multiplexed quadrature phase shifted keying transmission over a 1,600 km link (20x80km) with no inline compensation. Through numerical simulation, we report up to 80% reduction in required back-propagation steps to perform nonlinear compensation, in comparison to the standard back-propagation algorithm. This method takes into account the correlation between adjacent symbols at a given instant using a weighted-average approach, and optimization of the position of nonlinear compensator stage to enable practical digital back-propagation.

Nonlinear Interference Mitigation: Methods and Potential Gain

TL;DR: In this paper, the potential benefits of digital nonlinearity compensation (NLC) techniques in fully loaded coherent wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) transmission systems were explored. And the authors showed that while the BP gain is similar to single-carrier systems, PPRN removal can have a much stronger effect, particularly for higher order QAM systems, implying that SCM can be advantageous not only for constant modulus formats such as QPSK, but also for high spectral efficiency systems.

Approaching the Non-Linear Shannon Limit

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the recent progress of information theory in optical communications and describe the current experimental results and associated advances in various individual technologies which increase the information capacity, and confirm the widely held belief that the reported capacities are approaching the fundamental limits imposed by signal-to-noise ratio and the distributed nonlinearity of conventional optical fibres, resulting in the reduction in the growth rate of communication capacity.
