Abstract
We present experimental demonstrations using direct-detection and optical-orthogonal
frequency division multiplexing (DD-OOFDM) for the compensation of chromatic
dispersion in long-haul optical fiber links. Three transmitter designs of
varying electrical and optical complexity are used for optical single sideband
(OSSB) transmission and the theory behind each design is discussed. The data
rates achieved for the three systems are 10, 12, and 20 Gbit/s for fiber distances
between 320 and 400 km. A discussion of system overheads is provided together
with simulations of the required optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR).
