EAM-based multiband OFDM systems incorporating PAPR reduction and SSII cancellation

Abstract Multiband orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) subcarrier allocation is a good scheme to fully utilize the available bandwidth under the restriction of dispersion- and chirp-induced power fading in electro-absorption modulator (EAM)-based intensity-modulation-direct-detection (IMDD) OFDM system. In this paper, a modified Tone Reservation (TR) technique combined with subcarrier interleaving is proposed to reduce high peak to average power ratio (PAPR) while minimizing the penalty of subcarrier-to-subcarrier intermixing interference. In the experiment, by incorporating of these two techniques, the receiver sensitivity is improved by about 1.8 dB when a 20 Gbps OFDM signal transmitted along 100 km long single mode fiber in an EAM-based multiband IMDD–OFDM system.
