PAPR management of all-optical OFDM signal using fractional fourier transform for fibre nonlinearity mitigation

We propose a novel PAPR management technique using fractional Fourier transform subcarriers and time-lens effect. By deforming a high PAPR OFDM signal into a low PAPR Nyquist pulse train in fibre links, signal distortions by a fibre nonlinearity are mitigated.
