However, the conventional on\u2013off keying (OOK) signal is still widely used in access or metro transmission systems, which leads to the compatibility requirement of OSP for incoherent and coherent signals. In this paper, we propose a reservoir computing (RC)-OSP scheme based on nonlinear mapping behavior through a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) to deal with the non-return-to-zero (NRZ) signals and the differential quadrature phase-shift keying (DQPSK) signals in the nonlinear dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) channel. We optimized the key parameters of SOA-based RC to improve compensation performance. Based on the simulation investigation, we observed a significant improvement in signal quality over 10 dB compared to the distorted signals on each DWDM channel for both the NRZ and DQPSK transmission cases. The compatible OSP achieved by the proposed SOA-based RC could be a potential application of the optical switching node in the complex optical fiber communication system, where incoherent and coherent signals meet.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23125697","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,19]],"date-time":"2023-06-19T02:29:19Z","timestamp":1687141759000},"page":"5697","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Semiconductor Optical Amplifier (SOA)-Driven Reservoir Computing for Dense Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (DWDM) Signal Compensation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Yinke","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Lab of Optical Fiber Sensing and Communication Networks, Ministry of Education, School of Information and Communication Engineering, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu 611731, China"}]},{"given":"Huiwen","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Lab of Optical Fiber Sensing and Communication Networks, Ministry of Education, School of Information and Communication Engineering, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu 611731, China"}]},{"given":"Rui","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Lab of Optical Fiber Sensing and Communication Networks, Ministry of Education, School of Information and Communication Engineering, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu 611731, China"}]},{"given":"Feng","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lab of Holographic Optical Sensing, Marolabs Co., Ltd., Chengdu 610041, China"}]},{"given":"Baojian","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Lab of Optical Fiber Sensing and Communication Networks, Ministry of Education, School of Information and Communication Engineering, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu 611731, China"}]},{"given":"Kun","family":"Qiu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Lab of Optical Fiber Sensing and Communication Networks, Ministry of Education, School of Information and Communication Engineering, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu 611731, China"}]},{"given":"Feng","family":"Wen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Lab of Optical Fiber Sensing and Communication Networks, Ministry of Education, School of Information and Communication Engineering, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu 611731, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"19320","DOI":"10.1364\/OE.447591","article-title":"Maximizing the information throughput of ultra-wideband fiber-optic communication systems","volume":"30","author":"Shevchenko","year":"2022","journal-title":"Opt.
