We propose a novel multiple pilot-carriers assisted direct-detection optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DDO-OFDM) superchannel transmission scheme. With the proposed scheme, a 432-Gb/s transmission over 3040-km standard single mode fiber (SSMF) is successfully demonstrated. The nonlinear effect of correlated/uncorrelated sub-band loading is also investigated.
