In this paper, we review the historical evolution of predictions of the performance of optical
communication systems. We will describe how such predictions were made from the outset …

This paper investigates the impact of transceiver noise on the performance of digital back-
propagation (DBP). A generalized expression to estimate the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) …

The efficiency of digital nonlinearity compensation (NLC) is analyzed in the presence of
noise arising from amplified spontaneous emission noise (ASE) as well as from a nonideal …

We experimentally demonstrate nonlinear noise compensation in an optical phase
conjugation assisted 1^ st order Raman amplified 30x30Gbaud DP-QPSK transmission …

We propose optical injection locking (OIL) to enable compensation of the inter-channel
nonlinear phase noise, which is dominated by cross-phase modulation (XPM). In this paper …

The Gaussian noise model is used to estimate the performance of three digital nonlinearity
compensation (NLC) algorithms in C-band, long-haul, optical fiber transmission, when the …

A split digital backpropagation (DBP) scheme for digital subcarrier-multiplexing (SCM)
transmissions, denoted as SSDBP, is proposed and studied in both experiments and …

This thesis describes substantial advances in the physical layer modelling of optical fibre
communication systems in the nonlinear regime. Optical communication networks are …

This paper investigates the use of optoelectronic subsystems placed all the way along a
fiber link to provide distributed mitigation of the distortion caused by the Kerr nonlinearity …

Modern data communication links target ever-higher information throughput. To utilize the
available bandwidth in a single strand of fiber, optical communication links often require a …
