Abstract

The filter estimate produced by post-equalization processing of an optical signal at a receiver is used to generate pre-equalizer filter coefficients that are communicated back to the source of the optical signal for performing pre-equalization. In one advantageous aspect, the already existing post-equalization modules of an optical receive equipment can thus be used to produce, in addition, a pre-equalizer filter for use by the source side.
