Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2018137782A1] The present invention relates to a digital signal processing module in a transmitter of an optical transceiver. The digital signal processing module performs a bias-related linear transform in order to align, in a vector plane, the vector of an optical carrier signal with the vector of a modulated optical signal that is modulated by a modulator implemented inside the transmitter, and also performs a digital pre-distortion in order to compensate for the nonlinearity of the modulator. The digital pre-distortion method mainly consists in converting a target signal into a pre-distorted signal by subtracting a signal proportional to the distortion signal from the target signal. The non-orthogonality of the modulator is mitigated by an appropriate bias-related linear transform that is selected as to obtain the best quality performance using a scan method or as to obtain a maximum value of cross-correlation using a pilot tone method.
