Abstract

To improve the performance of optical fiber transmission and to compensate the fiber chromatic dispersion (CD), we propose to use fiber Bragg grating (FBG) in intensity modulator/direct detection IM/DD optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OOFDM) system, and experimentally demonstrate 2.5-Gbit/s QPSK-OFDM transmission over 200 km SMF-28. FBG used before the detection as a chromatic dispersion compensation module, reducing the beating noise between ASE noise and OFDM signal. By using the FBG in IM/DD OOFDM system, our experimental results show that the receiver sensitivity was improved about 2 dB at a bit error rate (BER) of 1×10−3 for 2.5 Gbit/s QPSK-OFDM signals after 200 km SMF-transmission compared to regular system without FBG.

Keywords: intensity modulator/direct detection; fiber Bragg grating (FBG); chromatic dispersion (CD); optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OOFDM)
