Generation and propagation of a 1550 nm 10 Gbit/s optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexed signal over 1000m of multimode fibre using a directly modulated DFB

摘要

OFDM is a spectrally efficient, robust and flexible modulation format. We have theoretically and practically investigated optical OFDM at the highest ever data rate of 10 Gbit/s and successfully transmitted a signal over 1000 m of multimode fibre using a directly modulated laser transmitter.
