Main Objectives
- Mitigate intra- and inter-channel nonlinear distortions in single-mode WDM transmission systems.
- Develop nonlinear signal analysis tools for MIMO optical transmission systems based on few-mode fibers.
- Develop nonlinear equalization algorithms to mitigate inter-modal nonlinearities in few-mode optical transmission systems.
- Develop figures of merit to assess the performance/complexity tradeoff of digital nonlinear equalization;
- Experimentally validate the developed algorithms and analytical tools by means of offline processing of experimental data.
- Implement reduced-complexity nonlinear equalization algorithms in real-time, resorting to high-speed and flexible hardware platforms.
