Abstract :
We describe a linearisation technique suitable for compensation of nonlinearities in a cascaded system of analogue optical links. Experimentally, we have observed an improvement of more than 30 dB in 2nd-order distortion, reducing distortion to ¿53 dB in a cascaded system of four optical transmitter/receiver modules.
