Summary: 
Nonlinearity compensation algorithm and soft-decision forward error correction (FEC) are considered as key technologies for future high-capacity and long-haul optical transmission system. In this report, we experimentally demonstrate the following three benefits brought by low complexity perturbation back-propagation nonlinear compensation algorithm in 224Gb/s DP-16QAM transmission over large-Aeff pure silica core fiber; (1) improvement of pre-FEC bit error ratio, (2) reshaping noise distribution to more Gaussian, and (3) reduction of cycle slip probability.
