120 Gbit/s Over 500-km Using Single-Band Polarization-Multiplexed Self-Coherent Optical OFDM

In this paper, we experimentally demonstrate a single-band self-coherent polarization-multiplexed optical orthogonal frequency-division multiplex system with a raw data rate of 120 Gbit/s. The transmitter uses a novel RF structure that eliminates the need for RF mixers and optical filters. The r...
