In optical fiber communication, optical and electrical components introduce nonlinearities, which require effective compensation to attain highest data rates. In particular, in short reach communication, components are the dominant source of nonlinearities. Volterra series are a popular countermeasure for receiver-side equalization of nonlinear component impairments and their memory effects. However, Volterra equalizer architectures are generally very complex. This article investigates soft deep neural network (DNN) architectures as an alternative for nonlinear equalization and soft-decision demapping. On coherent 92GBd dual polarization 64QAM back-to-back measurements performance and complexity is experimentally evaluated. The proposed bit-wise soft DNN equalizer (SDNNE) is compared to a 5th order Volterra equalizer at a 15% overhead forward error correction (FEC) limit. At equal performance, the computational complexity is reduced by 65%. At equal complexity, the performance is improved by 0.35 dB gain in optical signal-to-noise-ratio (OSNR).
