Abstract

Abstract In both optical wireless and optical fiber communication, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) plays an important role in data transmission. In the similar context, DC-coupled optical (DCO) OFDM and asymmetrically clipped optical (ACO) OFDM are discussed. DCO-OFDM has better peak to average power ratio (PAPR) but bit error rate (BER) performance is poor; however, in case of ACO-OFDM, PAPR is poor but BER performance is good. Moreover, DCO-OFDM is more power hungry; therefore, ACO-OFDM is considered as a preferred choice. Recently, asymmetrically clipped DC-biased optical (ADO)-OFDM is proposed, which shows good PAPR and BER performance. Clipping and µ-law companding techniques are discussed for PAPR reduction. The mathematical model is developed for all the three methods for received signal while considering clipping and companding noises along with channel noise. It is found that ADO-OFDM is better choice in comparison to DCO and ACO-OFDM. However, in case of ADO-OFDM, receiver structure is more complex.
