Optimizing Optical Interconnects: Digital Predistortion and Postequalization Techniques in Optical Communications

For the past few decades, we have witnessed explosive growth in data consumption in our everyday lives. While consumers rely more and more on wireless connections to obtain all these data, backbone data networks and infrastructures now depend largely on optical connectivity.
