Abstract

We propose an amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise mitigation scheme utilizing digital frequency offset loading (DFO-loading) for discrete spectrum nonlinear frequency division multiplexing (DS-NFDM) systems. Firstly, based on the one-to-one mapping relationship between frequency offsets and eigenvalue positions, the transmitter side encodes 4-bit information onto 16 kinds of different digital frequency offsets. Then, a sliding window-assisted eigenvalue position (SWA-EP) decoding technology is further proposed to substitute the classical channel equalization and carrier phase recovery processes, with the purpose of recovering the original information. The numerical and experimental results demonstrate that, compared with b-coefficient 16 quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) scheme, Q-factor gains are 2.1 dB under 15 dB optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) and 1.8 dB after 800 km fiber transmission, respectively. Moreover, its complexity is only 0.6% of the b-coefficient scheme. The DFO-loading scheme offers an effective and low-complexity way to mitigate ASE noise of DS-NFDM system.
