We propose a fifth-order Inverse Volterra Series Transfer Function based nonlinearities compensation for ultra high data rate optical fiber communications using OFDM. The main contributions consists of deriving the corresponding fifth-order kernels. Compared to the third-order case, we significantly improve the performance in terms of BER and/or transmission distance.
