Abstract
By eliminating redundant feedback mechanisms, we propose and experimentally validate an enhanced reservoir computing (RC)-based equalizer with simplified feedback for intensity modulation direct detection (IMDD) short-reach optical transmission systems. Experimental results demonstrate that the simplified model, which retains only the reservoir feedback loop and reduces the number of trainable parameters, achieves bit error rate (BER) performance comparable to the dual-feedback model. Without compromising equalization effectiveness, the proposed architecture reduces computational complexity and enhance scalability for practical deployment in high-speed optical networks.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Photonics Technology Letters addresses all aspects of the IEEE Photonics Society Constitutional Field of Interest with emphasis on photonic/lightwave components and applications, laser physics and systems and laser/electro-optics technology. Examples of subject areas for the above areas of concentration are integrated optic and optoelectronic devices, high-power laser arrays (e.g. diode, CO2), free electron lasers, solid, state lasers, laser materials'' interactions and femtosecond laser techniques. The letters journal publishes engineering, applied physics and physics oriented papers. Emphasis is on rapid publication of timely manuscripts. A goal is to provide a focal point of quality engineering-oriented papers in the electro-optics field not found in other rapid-publication journals.
