Nonlinear Impairment Compensation for Polarization-Division Multiplexed WDM Transmission Using Digital Backward Propagation

A comprehensive treatment of digital backward propagation (DBP) accounting for the vectorial nature of optical transmission is presented. Experimental results show that self-phase and cross-phase modulation are the major sources of nonlinear impairments, even for small channel spacings and for trans...
