Abstract

A method (10) of non-linear propagation impairment equalization, the method comprising the steps of: a. receiving (12) communications traffic carried by an optical communications signal transmitted over an optical communications link; b. generating (14) a time dependent filter representation of a nonlinear time-variant impulse response of the inverse of the optical communications link; and c. applying (16) the time dependent filter representation to the received communications traffic to form non-linear propagation impairment equalized communications traffic. An optical communications link nonlinear propagation impairment equalizer and optical communications signal receiver apparatus are also provided.
