Adaptive-Modulation-Enabled WDM Impairment Reduction in Multichannel Optical OFDM Transmission Systems for Next-Generation PONs
This is the first numerical investigation into the transmission performance of multichannel adaptively modulated optical orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (AMOOFDM) signals. These were studied as they functioned in optical-amplification-free and chromatic-dispersion-compensation-free intensity-modulation and direct-detection systems, which incorporated modulated distributed feedback lasers, namely, directly modulated lasers (DMLs). We show that AMOOFDM not only significantly reduces the nonlinear wavelength-division multiplexing impairments induced by the effects of cross-phase modulation and four-wave mixing, but also effectively compensates for the DML-induced frequency chirp effect. This work has been cited in 36 subsequent journal articles.
