AbstractTo improve the performance of optical fiber transmission and to compensate the fiber chromatic dispersion (CD), we propose to use fiber Bragg grating (FBG) in intensity modulator/direct detection IM/DD optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OOFDM) system, and experimentally demonstrate 2.5-Gbit/s QPSK-OFDM transmission over 200 km SMF-28. FBG used before the detection as a chromatic dispersion compensation module, reducing the beating noise between ASE noise and OFDM signal. By using the FBG in IM/DD OOFDM system, our experimental results show that the receiver sensitivity was improved about 2 dB at a bit error rate (BER) of $1 \times {10^{ - 3}}$ for 2.5 Gbit/s QPSK-OFDM signals after 200 km SMF-transmission compared to regular system without FBG.

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) has gained great attention in the next generation Long-Reach Passive Optical Network (LR-PON) due to its high spectrum efficiency, flexible resource allocation and natural compatibility with Digital Signal Processing (DSP)-based implementation. In this paper, we propose and demonstrate a 40Gbit/s direct-detection long reach OFDM-PON system for downstream transmission over 100km standard signal mode fiber (SSMF). By using a simple Least Square (LS) method for the channel estimation, our proposed system achieves high bit rate without the need for chromatic dispersion compensation.

A data clipping and normalization technique is employed to improve the performance of the overall direct detection optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DCO-OFDM) system. A detailed analysis of clipping distortion introduced by digital clipping and normalization is provided. The normalization operation amplifies the clipped data signal to the maximum input amplitude of a digital-to-analog converter (DAC). Based on the analysis, a BER formula of the proposed scheme is derived over the AWGN channel and single fiber channel. Performance of an optical clipped OFDM with normalization is assessed through numerical simulations and Monte Claro simulation over the AWGN channel. Theoretical analysis and simulation results both show that the clipping and normalization scheme can greatly improve the BER of an optical OFDM. In particular, BER performance of the proposed transmission scheme was measured in a practical OFDM transmission platform. The measured experimental results show that the clipped and amplified OFDM signal exhibits superior performance in comparison with the conventional OFDM signal. The received sensitivity at a BER of 10−3 for a 4 Gsamples/s (2.6667 Gbits/s) clipped and normalized OFDM signal with clipping ratio of 4 after 100 km standard single-mode fiber (SMF) transmission was improved by 4.3 dB when compared with the conventional OFDM system. The measured results also showed that the clipped OFDM signal exhibits superior performance in comparison with the conventional OFDM signal. Therefore, a clipping and normalization at the transmitter is most effective, and a substantial performance improvement can be obtained by a simple normalization after clipping.

High Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) of the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) signal is one of the limitations to the transmission performance of optical OFDM system. In this paper, we propose a novel hybrid PAPR reduction technique called Hadamard Transform Combined with Partial transmit sequence (HTCP). The proposed HTCP scheme combines the merits of two complementary techniques, i.e., Hadamard transform and Partial Transmit Sequence (PTS), to improve the performance of the optical OFDM system in terms of PAPR and Bit Error Rate (BER). Simulation results show that the HTCP scheme has better performance with regard to PAPR and BER compared with the case of applying only the Hadamard transform or PTS technique.

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is applied to optical communication widely because of its robustness against channel dispersion and high spectral efficiency. But the synchronization between transmitter and receiver is a critical factor for system performances. This paper proposes an improved frame timing synchronization algorithm for optical OFDM system to keep synchronization by delay time compensation. The simulation of 40 Gb/s single-side-band (SSB) direct-detection optical OFDM system is setup and investigated. The curve of timing metric and the constellation of four-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) are given in the paper. And the transmission distance using the proposed method is compared with Park method. The simulation results show that the improved frame synchronization method promote the performances of optical OFDM system greatly. The distance can be 1600 km without dispersion compensation under the bit error ratio of 10-4.
