A 240 Gb/s self-coherent CO-OFDM transmission applying real-time receiption over 48 KM SSMF

Abstract

We have implemented a real-time FPGA-based COOFDM receiver at 5.8 Gb/s. With a novel self coherent scheme the complexity of real-time receiver is reduced. The sub-band signal reception of 240 Gb/s multi-band CO-OFDM transmission over 44 km SSMF has been demonstrated using the real-time receiver with an error floor as low as 1.74×10-5.
