Combined with particle-swarm optimisation, the capacity of a hybrid-amplified 10.5-THz 117x57-km link was maximised, increasing throughput by 12% versus an EDFAs-only configuration. %V 2024 %A H Buglia %A E Sillekens %A L Galdino %A R Killey %A P Bayvel %K Noise, Predictive models, Erbium-doped fiber amplifiers, Throughput, Prediction algorithms, Real-time systems, Optical fiber communication %S Optical Fiber Communications Conference and Exhibition (OFC) %C San Diego, CA, USA %J 2024 Optical Fiber Communications Conference and Exhibition, OFC 2024 - Proceedings
