Adaptive Compensation of the Nonlinear Distortions in Optical Transmitters Using Predistortion

The described method refers to compensation of nonlinear distortions, originating in laser diodes, used in wideband SCM-communication systems. Its essence is presenting in forming of a function that is opposite of the function describing the W-A characteristic of the emitting diode. Main element is the predistorter, which is connected in series before the emitting diode. This way, an improving of the optical transmitter’s parameters and characteristics is being realized, by using a purposive entering predistortion.
