摘要
Schemes integrating inter-carrier interference （ICI） self-cancellation and common phase error （CPE） com- pensation for coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing （CO-OFDM） systems are investi- gated. The purpose of our research is to counteract the impacts of laser phase noise and fiber nonlinearity. We propose two ICI self-cancellation-based CO-OFDM schemes, and adopt a pilot-aided decision feedback （DFB） loop for CPE compensation. The proposed schemes are compared with conventional CO-OFDM schemes at the same spectral efficiency. Simulations show that our schemes can not only enhance laser linewidth tolerance of the CO-OFDM system, but also present strong robustness against fiber nonlinearity.
