An Optoelectronic Joint Equalization Scheme Based on Photonic Reservoir Computing and TDNN for CD and Nonlinearity Compensation in IM/DD Link

Abstract

We propose and numerically study a joint equalization scheme combining neuromorphic photonic reservoir computing with time-delay neural-network for chromatic dispersion compensation and nonlinear compensation in IM/DD system, achieving bitrate-distance product up to 11,200Gps·km in C-band.
