Abstract
This
paper describes coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing
(CO-OFDM) techniques for the long-haul transmission of 100-Gb/s-class
channels. First, we discuss the configurations of the transmitter and
receiver that implement the optical multiplexing/demultiplexing techniques
for high-speed CO-OFDM transmission. Next, we review the no-guard-interval
(No-GI) CO-OFDM transmission scheme which utilizes optical multiplexing for
OFDM signal generation and the intradyne receiver configuration with digital
signal processing (DSP). We examine the transmission characteristics of the
proposed scheme, and show that No-GI CO-OFDM offers compact signal spectra
and superior performance with regard to tolerance against optical amplifier
noise and polarization-mode dispersion (PMD). We then introduce long-haul
high-capacity transmission experiments employing No-GI CO-OFDM; 13.4 Tb/s (134$\,\times\,$111 Gb/s) transmission is successfully demonstrated over 3 600 km
of ITU-T G.652 single-mode fiber without using optical
dispersion compensation.
