GPU-Accelerated Optimisation of Symmetric Bidirectional Ultrawideband Coherent Transmission Under Launch Power Constraints

arXiv:2607.12921

summary

The paper presents a GPU‑accelerated optimisation framework for bidirectional ultrawideband coherent transmission under total fibre launch‑power constraints, demonstrating up to a 24.5% increase in aggregate capacity for a 3‑span system when the O‑band direction is reversed.

Abstract

We optimise bidirectional OESCL-band coherent transmission under total fibre power constraints using a GPU-accelerated boundary-value Raman solver and launch-power optimisation. While no gain is observed without power constraints, for an 18-dBm limit 3-span transmission reversing the O-band direction increases aggregate capacity by up to 24.5%
