Abstract

A distortion compensation system and method may be used to compensate for data pattern dependent signal distortion in a signal received in a coherent optical signal receiver. In general, the distortion compensation system and method compares a received signal field with stored distorted signal waveforms associated with known data patterns and selects a compensation value associated with the distorted signal waveform that corresponds most closely with the received signal field. The distortion compensation system and method compensates the received signal using the selected compensation value and thus mitigates the effects of data pattern dependent signal distortion.
