PAPR reduction techniques for coherent optical OFDM transmission

In coherent optical OFDM systems, the large peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) gives rise to signal impairments through the nonlinearity of modulator and fiber. We review the most prominent PAPR reduction techniques that have been proposed for mitigating the impairments with regard to their reduction capability, computational complexity and redundancy. Simulation results are presented for Clipping, Selected Mapping, Active Constellation Extension and Trellis Shaping.
