The present disclosure relates to a digital filter arrangement (DFA) for compensating group velocity dispersion (GVD) in an optical transmission system (OTS) wherein the DFA is configured to receive a sequence of samples of a digital input signal in the time domain in the form of consecutive blocks of size L. The DFA is configured to generate M discrete Fourier transforms of a current overlap block of a size N greater than the size L and of M−1 delayed versions of the current overlap block. The DFA is configured to filter the entries of the generated M discrete Fourier transforms to generate an output discrete Fourier transform with N entries, wherein the compensation filter is implemented by a delay network and a linear combination algorithm.

A method for optical communication between transceivers through an optical link for chromatic dispersion pre-compensation, includes generating and sending, by a second transceiver, a first CD pre-compensated optical signal and a second CD pre-compensated optical signal, to the first transceiver through the optical link. The method further includes receiving, by a first transceiver, the first and second CD pre-compensated optical signals, and calculating a first residual chromatic dispersion (RCD) value from the received first CD pre-compensated optical signal, and a second RCD value from the received second CD pre-compensated optical signal. The method further includes calculating, by the first transceiver, a third PCD filter using the first RCD value, and a fourth PCD filter using the second RCD value. The third PCD filter and the fourth PCD filters are used to generate and send two CD pre-compensated optical signals to the second transceiver, which provides tunable CD pre-compensation capability.

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and method of processing a digital signal, wherein an input signal is transformed into the frequency domain by applying a fast Fourier transformation (FFT) processing to obtain a transformed input signal. Positive and negative frequency components of the transformed input signal are separated and respective ones of the separated positive and negative frequency components are separately processed by respective digital filtering to obtain filtered frequency components. The filtered frequency components are combined in the frequency domain using a down-sampling operation for down-sampling the filtered frequency components from an input number of samples per symbol to a different output number of samples per symbol, and the combined output components are converted into the time domain by applying an IFFT processing.
