Abstract
Aspects of a method and system for feedback during optical communications are provided. In one embodiment, a system for optical communications comprises a predistortion module, a feedback subsystem, a transmit optical subsystem, and an external modulator. The predistortion module is operable to receive an input digital signal and modify the input digital signal to produce a digital predistorted signal. The transmit optical subsystem is operable to generate an optical signal from the digital predistorted signal. The modification of the input digital signal is dynamically controlled by the feedback subsystem according to one or more characteristics of the optical signal as determined by the feedback subsystem. The amplitude of the external modulator output is also dynamically controlled by the feedback subsystem.
