Abstract
In this paper, we present a new method to implement beat interference cancellation receiver (BICR) for single-sideband optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (SSB-OOFDM) signal, which improves the spectral efficiency (SE) by reducing the guard band (GB) between the optical carrier and the OOFDM signal while mitigating the impact of signal–signal beat interference (SSBI). This BICR structure is relatively simple using only an optical interleaver (IL), a 3×3 optical coupler (OC) and three photodiodes (PDs). A system simulation for the 40Gbit/s 16-QAM SSB-OOFDM signal with the reduced GB is carried out to prove the feasibility of this new scheme. The simulation results show that our proposed BICR has a better performance to suppress SSBI and a higher SE than the conventional direct-detection receiver (CDDR) according to the EVMs and the constellations.
