Filter cascading effects are identified and compensated in flexible coherent multi-carrier optical networks using, for the first time, a complex-valued support vector machine (C-SVM) non-linear equaliser which is compared to phase-conjugated subcarrier-coding (PC-SC)-based non-linearity compensation. The transmission performance of super-channel-based dual-polarisation coherent multi-band optical OFDM (DP-MB-OFDM) is analysed in a flexible network with two-stage wavelength selective-switch reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer for coarse and fine switching granularity. It is shown that filter cascading effects have significant impact only on edge OFDM sub-bands. On the other hand, C-SVM outperforms PC-SC resulting in an extension of the transmission-reach, for instance, by 420 km when employing 32-quadrature amplitude modulation at a targeted bit-error-rate of 10−3. This occurs since C-SVM can compensate more effectively stochastic-induced nonlinear cross-talk effects. Moreover, the interplay between polarisation-mode dispersion (PMD) and fibre non-linearity is also investigated in DP-MB-OFDM, revealing that a high PMD causes time fluctuation on the non-linear interaction affecting the balance of the ‘twin-subcarriers’ in PS-SC.
