Abstract
We experimentally demonstrate quality ()-factor enhancement in terms of fiber nonlinearity compensation of 16 quadrature amplitude modulation coherent optical orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing at 2000 km, using a nonlinear equalizer (NLE) based on artificial neural networks (ANN). Nonlinearity alleviation depends on escalation of the ANN training overhead and the signal bit rate, reporting -factor enhancement at , whereas a reduction of the number of ANN neurons annihilates the NLE performance. An enhanced performance by up to in -factor compared to the inverse Volterra-series transfer function NLE leads to a breakthrough in the efficiency of ANN.
