Affinity propagation clustering for blind nonlinearity
compensation in coherent optical OFDM.
In: Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics (CLEO 2018), 13-18 May 2018, San Jose, CA, USA.
The first blind nonlinear equalizer using affinity propagation (AP) clustering is experimentally demonstrated for single-channel and WDM CO-OFDM. AP outperforms fuzzylogic c-means clustering and digital-back propagation for both QPSK and 16-QAM formats.
