Abstract

Signal distortion in fiber optic systems is compensated for by forming decisions as to the transmitted information as a joint function of the received signal and of a feedback signal. The latter, in turn, is a function of decisions made for at least one signal transmitted over the fiber. The feedback signal determines the value of a threshold to which the received signal is compared in order to generate the decisions.
