Abstract

In this paper, a chromatic-dispersion-aware non-orthogonal discrete Fourier transform precoding (CDA-NODFTP) scheme is proposed for CD-constrained intensity-modulation and direct detection (IM/DD) multicarrier-signal transmission systems. The performance of the proposed CDA-NODFTP scheme is experimentally evaluated and compared with conventional DFTP and NODFTP schemes over a 50-km C-band dispersion-uncompensated link, utilizing 90-Gb/s orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and filter bank multicarrier (FBMC) signals. Experimental results show that the proposed CDA-NODFTP with adaptive spectral compression outperforms conventional DFTP, NODFTP, and the non-precoding schemes in terms of bit error rate (BER) performance. Moreover, based on CD response only, the CDA-NODFTP-FBMC exhibits superior performance compared to both CDA-NODFTP-OFDM and adaptive bit and power loading (ABPL) FBMC, achieving receiver sensitivity improvements of over 2 dB at a BER of 3.8
