Digital backpropagation (BP) is a universal method for jointly compensating dispersion and nonlinear impairments in optical fiber applicable to signals of any modulation format. In this paper, we compare single carrier (SC) versus orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) polarization-multiplexed transmission.
