Bit-rate-flexible all-optical OFDM transceiver using variable multi-carrier source and DQPSK/DPSK mixed multiplexing

We propose and demonstrate a bit-rate-flexible all-optical OFDM transceiver. Signals were successfully generated at 107, 42.8, 32.1, and 10.7 Gbit/s and received through the transceiver. The 107-Gbit/s signal was successfully transmitted over 40-km-SMF without dispersion compensation.
