Supply-Power-Constrained Cable Capacity Maximization Using Deep Neural Networks
This work addresses power efficiency in fiber optic communication systems, which is incremental as it applies existing machine learning methods to a specific domain.
The paper tackled the problem of maximizing cable capacity under supply-power constraints in fiber optic networks by eliminating gain flattening filters and optimizing launch powers using deep neural networks, achieving a 19% capacity gain per Watt in a 12-span link.
We experimentally achieve a 19% capacity gain per Watt of electrical supply power in a 12-span link by eliminating gain flattening filters and optimizing launch powers using machine learning by deep neural networks in a massively parallel fiber context.
