Abstract :
We compare various nonlinearity mitigation techniques and demonstrate that spectral-inversion significantly outperforms low-precision digital back-propagation, and enables Qeff improvements up to 3.5dB. We further report that pre-chirped spectral-inversion approaches the performance of ideal digital back-propagation.
