The performance of optical mode division multiplexing (MDM) is affected by intersymbol interference (ISI) from nonlinear channel impairments arising from higherorder mode coupling and modal dispersion in multimode fiber. However, the existing MDM equalization algorithms can only mitigate the linear distortion, but they cannot address nonlinear distortion in the signal accurately. Therefore, there is a need to explore how ISI can be mitigated to recover the transmitted signal. This research aims to control the broadening of the MDM signal and minimize the undesirable distortion among channels in MMF by signal reshaping at the receiver. A dynamic evolving neural fuzzy inference system (DENFIS) equalization scheme has been used to achieve this objective. This research was conducted through a few steps commencing with modelling the MDM system in Optsim and collecting the data. Then, the signal reshaping parameters were determined. After that, DENFIS equalization, least mean square (LMS) and recursive least squares (RLS) equalizations were implemented and evaluated. Results illustrated that nonlinear DENFIS equalization scheme can improve MDM signal at a higher accuracy than previous linear equalization schemes. DENFIS equalization demonstrates better signal reshaping accuracy with an average root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.0338 and outperformed linear LMS and RLS equalization schemes with high average RMSE values of 0.101 and 0.1914 respectively. The reduced RMSE implies that DENFIS equalization scheme mitigates ISI more effectively in a nonlinear channel. This effect can hasten data transmission rates in MDM. Moreover, the successful offline implementation of DENFIS equalization in MDM encourages future online implementation of DENFIS equalization in embedded optical systems.
