contents This paper investigates the application of end-to-end (E2E) learning for joint optimization of pulse-shaper and receiver filter to reduce intersymbol interference (ISI) in bandwidth-limited communication systems. We investigate this in two numerical simulation models: 1) an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel with bandwidth limitation and 2) an intensity modulated direct detection (IM/DD) link employing an electro-absorption modulator. For both simulation models, we implement a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) scheme to ensure that the learned filters adhere to the bandwidth constraints of the WDM channels. Our findings reveal that E2E learning greatly surpasses traditional single-sided transmitter pulse-shaper or receiver filter optimization methods, achieving significant performance gains in terms of symbol error rate with shorter filter lengths. These results suggest that E2E learning can decrease the complexity and enhance the performance of future high-speed optical communication systems.
