Abstract
We introduce digital precompensation for optical nonlinearities. A 10-Gb/s transmitter subsystem is described. Experimental results, across 320 and 1280 km of standard single-mode fiber (G.652) without any optical compensators, show substantial elimination of self-phase modulation. Some of the limits of this method are explored.
