Data underpinning "Experimental Demonstration of Zero-Shot Machine Learning Equalisation in Dual Polarisation Coherent Transmission"

"graph_data.xlsx" is an excel spreadsheet containing the graph data used in the paper. It contains three sheets for each of the three figures in the paper.

• "Q_fibres" contains a table containing the Q-factor achieved by both conventional and ML-based DSP. The launch power used is contained in the "LP" column. Each other column is labeled as "fibre-dsp", where "fibre" denotes the fibre being used to transmit data, and "dsp" is either "conv" for conventional DSP or "ml" for ML-based DSP.
• "Q_freqs" contains a table structured in the same way as the table in "Q_fibres", except each column is labeled as "freq-dsp" where "freq" denotes the transmission frequency.
• "Q_PMD" contains a table containing Q-factors achieved by ML-based DSP. Each column is labeled by the induced delay used at the transmitter to generate each result, and the column "LP" contains the launch power used.
