Abstract
In this paper, a modified low-bandwidth sub-Nyquist sampling receiving scheme enabled by optical shaping is investigated in an intensity modulation/direct detection (IM/DD) orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) system, which can reduce the sampling rate and analog bandwidth of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) at the receiving end. By changing the phase matrix of preprocessing, the modified scheme can distinguish different groups of data only by controlling the delay of the shaping module. In addition, the proposed RF sharing architecture can further reduce the cost and increase the feasibility of the scheme. Based on arcsine digital pre-distortion (DPD) technology, a DPD optical pulse shaping scheme is proposed to achieve better spectrum aliasing in the optical domain. With the help of the DPD shaping, we successfully experimentally demonstrate the 12.5-GHz/44.45-Gbit/s IM/DD OFDM system with low-bandwidth (3.125 GHz) and sub-Nyquist sampling rate (6.25 GSa/s) ADC. The experiment results show that the proposed scheme can not only effectively achieve low-bandwidth reception, but also achieve about 0.4 dB receiver sensitivity improvement compared with the traditional high-bandwidth scheme at BER of 3.8×10-3 after 10.2 km standard single mode fiber transmission, which indicates that the proposed scheme is a promising low-cost candidate to provide large transmission capacity for the next-generation network.
