Embodiment Construction
[0046] The provided solution proposes inter alia a Discrete Inverse Fourier Transform in the transmitter, which increases the spectral efficiency of an optical signal by shaping the spectrum of the optical signal in an OFDM-like manner. Furthermore, the discrete inverse Fourier transform makes the signal compatible with direct detection without digital signal processing and without having to send an optical carrier along with the signal. Hence, there is no such need for complex DSP, complexity is desirable even for high data rates (eg, >10 Gbps), and high spectral efficiency is achieved since no bandwidth is reserved for optical carriers.
[0047] At the transmitter, an OFDM-like optical signal is generated, where each optical subcarrier is a linear combination of all other subcarriers such that after direct detection, at every kth sampling point, the electrical signal has the same A numerical value proportional to the carrier.
[0048] The transmitter can be implemented usin...
