Abstract
We propose a non-orthogonal discrete Fourier transform (DFT) matrix precoding scheme for the mitigation of nonlinear distortion induced by the interaction between laser chirp and fiber dispersion in a directly modulated laser (DML)-based orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission system. Compared with conventional OFDM, the proposed method can decrease the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) and significantly reduce the nonlinear distortion without sacrificing spectral efficiency (SE). The cascaded binary-phase-shift-keying iterative detection (CBID) algorithm is used to eliminate the inter-carrier interference (ICI) that is purposely induced by the non-orthogonal precoding. The performance of the proposed scheme is experimentally evaluated, achieving ∼0.4-dB sensitivity improvement at the KP4-forward error correction (FEC) threshold over the T/2-spaced third-order Volterra nonlinear equalizer (VNLE). Meanwhile, compared to the VNLE, the reduction in computational complexity of one OFDM frame is 90% for multiplication and 88.32% for addition in this work.
