100 Gbit/s All-Optical OFDM Transmission Using 4 × 25 Gbit/s Optical Duobinary Signals with Phase-Controlled Optical Sub-Carriers

Abstract

This paper proposes 100-Gbit/s optical-OFDM transmission using the ODB format. An OFDM signal generated using a simple multi-carrier generator and multi-carrier modulator is successfully transmitted over a 20-km SMF and 100-km DSF without dispersion compensation.
