Kernel Affine Projection for Nonlinearity Tolerant Optical Short Reach Systems
Journal article, 2020

Nonlinearity is one of the key issues that hinder the development of high-capacity optical short reach systems. This paper proposes three variants of kernel affine projection (KAP) algorithms, all of which combine kernel mapping and affine projection in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space for compensating nonlinear impairments in optical short reach systems. An intensity modulation/direct detection system with a single digital-to-analogue converter, a packaged externally modulated laser and a packaged InP photo-detector is used for experimental demonstration, achieving 238-Gbps (net rate 222-Gbps). Experimental results show that the KAP algorithms can mitigate nonlinear impairments in short-reach communications while maintaining low complexity in reproducing kernel Hilbert space.
