Short-Reach MCF-Based Systems Employing KK Receivers and Feedforward Neural Networks for ICXT Mitigation

This paper proposes and evaluates the use of machine learning (ML) techniques for mitigating the effect of the random inter-core crosstalk (ICXT) on 256 Gb/s short-reach systems employing weakly coupled multicore fiber (MCF) and Kramers–Kronig (KK) receivers. The performance improvement provided by...
