Abstract

See full text

A method for per-span optical fiber nonlinearity compensation comprises determining values of fiber parameters characterizing one or more target optical fibers in one or more respective spans of a link, and applying selected weight values to one or more photonic computing chips (PCCs), each PCC integrated in a different respective span of the link, wherein selection of the weight values is based on the values of the fiber parameters and a mapping associated with each PCC. The method further comprises transmitting an optical signal through the link, wherein each integrated PCC emulates an inverse of a nonlinear transfer function of the target optical fiber in the respective span, thereby reducing nonlinearity contributed by the one or more target optical fibers to the optical signal.
