Abstract
The Volterra series transfer function (VSTF), in which the
input–output relationship of a nonlinear system is represented by a
series of nonlinear kernel functions, is an elegant tool to model nonlinear
systems. The inverse of a nonlinear system can be constructed by analyzing
VSTF. We propose a new electronic nonlinearity compensation scheme based on
inverse VSTF. We show 1 dB improvement in Q-factor with a 256 Gb/s polarization-division-multiplexed
16-level quadratic amplitude modulation format, and 50% reduction in
complexity by lowering the processing rate.
