Coherent all Optical Reservoir Computing for Equalization of Impairments in Coherent Fiber Optic Communication Systems by Shiva Kumar, Mahmoud M. T. Maghrabi, Mohamed H. Bakr, Toshihiko Hirooka, Masataka Nakazawa

“…We compare the performances of the RC systems based on semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM) and highly nonlinear waveguide (HNLW). For a dispersion managed long haul FO system in which the nonlinear penalty is dominant, we find that the SESAM outperforms the HNLW due to its larger nonlinear memory. …”
