Low-complexity digital pre-emphasis technique for next generation optical transceiver

We experimentally verified the effectiveness of a novel digital pre-emphasis technique to compensate limited DAC bandwidth for next generation flexible systems. A gain larger than 1dB/0.1nm OSNR at the 7%-FEC limit has been experimentally verified for 8, 16 and 32QAM.
