Abstract

From the concepts of the dispersion-folded digital backward propagation (DBP) and optical phase conjugation (OPC), a hybrid optical-electronic nonlinearity-compensation scheme is proposed to enhance the system performance of the dispersion-managed transmission. The computational complexity of the proposed scheme, compared with that of the conventional DBP method, is reduced significantly while the performance penalty is negligible. The compensation efficiency of the proposed scheme has been validated in a 5 (and 9)-channel PM-16QAM system at 256 Gbit/s.
