Abstract
In this letter, we conduct analysis on the optimum design for RF-to-optical up-converter in coherent optical OFDM systems using an optical I/Q modulator. We first derive closed-form expressions for the nonlinearity in the optical I/Q modulator, represented by two-tone intermodulation products as a function of the bias point and modulation index. Additionally, we perform a numerical simulation to identify Q-penalty and the excess modulation insertion loss under various transmitter conditions. We find that in contrast to the direct-detected system, the optimal modulator bias point for the coherent system is pi, where the Q-penalty and excess loss are minimized

Theoretical and experimental study on PMD-supported transmission using polarization diversity in coherent optical OFDM systems.

TL;DR: It is shown that the optical fiber channel model can be treated as a special kind of multiple-input multiple- output (MIMO) model, namely, a two-input two-output (TITO) models which is intrinsically represented by a two -element Jones vector familiar to the optical communications community.

Coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing

TL;DR: In this article, a coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) was proposed to combat dispersion in optical media, and it was shown that optical-signal-to-noise ratio penalty at 10 Gbit/s is maintained below 2 dB for 3000 km transmission of standard-singlemode fiber without dispersion compensation.
