Experimental Demonstration of 340 km SSMF Transmission Using a Virtual Single Sideband OFDM Signal that Employs Carrier Suppressed and Iterative Detection Techniques

Abstract

We propose and demonstrate a virtual SSB-OFDM with direct detection that uses half the electrical bandwidth by employing an RF tone at the edge of the signal. We transmit 10 Gbps data with a 4-QAM over 340 km of SSMF with no penalty.
