Chip-Scale Transmitter Module for Real-Time Continuous-Variable QKD
Igor Servello, Martin Hauer, Moritz Baier +6
Continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CV-QKD) enables secure communication over standard telecom infrastructure, but scaling is stalled by bulky, discrete optical hardware.…
Novel Phase-Noise-Tolerant Variational-Autoencoder-Based Equalization Suitable for Space-Division-Multiplexed Transmission
Vincent Lauinger, Lennart Schmitz, Patrick Matalla +3
We demonstrate the effectiveness of a novel phase-noise-tolerant, variational-autoencoder-based equalization scheme for space-division-multiplexed (SDM) transmission in an experime…
Non-linear Equalization in 112 Gb/s PONs Using Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks
Rodrigo Fischer, Patrick Matalla, Sebastian Randel +1
We investigate Kolmogorov-Arnold networks (KANs) for non-linear equalization of 112 Gb/s PAM4 passive optical networks (PONs). Using pruning and extensive hyperparameter search, we…
Recent Advances on Machine Learning-aided DSP for Short-reach and Long-haul Optical Communications
Laurent Schmalen, Vincent Lauinger, Jonas Ney +5
In this paper, we highlight recent advances in the use of machine learning for implementing equalizers for optical communications. We highlight both algorithmic advances as well as…
