Block-wise phase switching for double-sideband direct detected optical OFDM signals

We propose phase switching for either main-carrier or subcarriers of two consecutive signal blocks to achieve fading-free double-sideband direct-detection (DD). In our demonstration, 40-Gb/s DD-OOFDM is successfully received over 80-km SSMF with single polarization and single detector.
