Complex-Valued Kernel-based Phase and Amplitude Distortion Compensation in Parametrically Amplified Optical Links

We develop a complex-valued kernel-adaptive-filtering based method for phase and amplitude distortion compensation in cascaded fibre-optical parametric amplifier (FOPA) links. Our algorithm predicts and cancels both distortions induced by pump-phase modulation across all amplification stages, achieving more than an order of magnitude improvement in BER.

Field-Enhanced Filtering in MIMO Learned Volterra Nonlinear Equalisation of Multi-Wavelength Systems

We propose a novel MIMO-WDM Volterra-based nonlinear-equalisation scheme with adaptive time-domain nonlinear stages enhanced by filtering in both the power and optical signal waveforms. This approach efficiently captures the interplay between dispersion and non-linearity in each step, leading to $46\%$ complexity reduction for $9\times 9$-MIMO operation.
