Over-the-fiber Digital Predistortion Using Reinforcement Learning

We demonstrate, for the first time, experimental over-the-fiber training of transmitter neural networks (NNs) using reinforcement learning. Optical back-to-back training of a novel NN-based digital predistorter outperforms arcsine-based predistortion with up to 60% bit-error-rate reduction.
