A method, system and apparatus for mapping a symbol from a N-QAM constellation into a binary bit set, where N is the number of symbols in the constellation, and reducing the length of the binary bit set according to at least one property of nonlinear distortion by generating a lookup table (LUT) address from a LUT address generator, and adding the LUT address to a LUT of size smaller than N{circumflex over ( )}(2M+1), where 2M is the number of neighboring symbols to be stored.

Efficient nonlinear equalizer for transmitter predistortion

A system and method for efficient optical signal amplification with system monitoring features are provided. For example, an optical repeater may include two different 4-port thin-film gain flattening filters (TF-GFFs), which may be connected to provide a high-loss loop-back (HLLB) path in the optical repeater for system monitoring. The 4-port TF-GFF may have four different ports and may integrate the functionalities of a conventional GFF and a coupler into a single component, thereby increasing power efficiency of the optical repeater.
