Abstract
A method of optical communication, implemented at a receiver in an optical communication network, includes receiving an optical signal carrying modulated information bits, processing the optical signal through a receiver subsystem to generate a stream of digitized modulation symbols from the optical signal, and producing, using the digitized modulation symbols as input symbols to an iterative process, estimates of information bits. Each iteration includes: generating estimated output symbols from input symbols by filtering by an estimate of inverse of the optical channel, updating, using the estimated output symbols, the estimate of the inverse of the optical channel to minimize a measure of error, and compensating the estimated output symbols by using pre-distortion values from a look-up table (LUT) to generate compensated output symbols that are used as input to a next iteration.
