Abstract
Reservoir Computing (RC) has attracted considerable attention owing to its low energy consumption and rapid learning capabilities. In this paper, we have proposed and experimentally investigated a time delay reservoir computing (TD-RC) system based on a vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) to compensate for the optical signal distortions that arise from transmission through long optical fibers. Our findings indicate that optimizing the external injection strength and feedback strength significantly improves the accuracy of signal recovery. Through parameter tuning, the experiment can reduce the symbol error rate (SER) of the nonlinear fiber compensation task to 0.064. The proposed TD-RC system based on VCSEL holds significant potential for improving the performance of fiber optic compensation technology in the future, as it demonstrates favorable compensation performance in practice.
期刊介绍:
Innovations in optical fiber technology are revolutionizing world communications. Newly developed fiber amplifiers allow for direct transmission of high-speed signals over transcontinental distances without the need for electronic regeneration. Optical fibers find new applications in data processing. The impact of fiber materials, devices, and systems on communications in the coming decades will create an abundance of primary literature and the need for up-to-date reviews.
Optical Fiber Technology: Materials, Devices, and Systems is a new cutting-edge journal designed to fill a need in this rapidly evolving field for speedy publication of regular length papers. Both theoretical and experimental papers on fiber materials, devices, and system performance evaluation and measurements are eligible, with emphasis on practical applications.
