We investigate end-to-end optimized optical transmission systems based on feedforward or bidirectional recurrent neural networks (BRNN) and deep learning. In particular, we report the first experimental demonstration of a BRNN auto-encoder, highlighting the performance improvement achieved with recurrent processing for communication over dispersive nonlinear channels.
