For the first time, recurrent and feedforward neural network-based equalizers for nonlinearity compensation are implemented in an FPGA, with a level of complexity comparable to that of a dispersion equalizer.

Addressing the neural network-based optical channel equalizers, we quantify the trade-off between their performance and complexity by carrying out the comparative analysis of several neural network architectures, presenting the results for TWC and SSMF set-ups.

We propose a convolutional-recurrent channel equalizer and experimentally demonstrate 1dB Q-factor improvement both in single-channel and 96 x WDM, DP-16QAM transmission over 450km of TWC fiber.
