Companding transform based SPM compensation in coherent optical OFDM transmission

We demonstrate a mitigation of fiber nonlinearity using μ-law companding transform in coherent optical OFDM transmission. After transmission of 1,040 km over SMF, the proposed scheme shows 5.5 dB OSNR improvements over non-companded signal.
