Abstract :
We propose a post-compensation technique to suppress distortions added to a wideband signal by any nonlinear system. Experimentally, broadband linearization of the photonic time-stretch analog-to-digital converter (TSADC) is demonstrated and dynamic range improvement of >10 dB is achieved.
