摘要
There has been a trend of migration to high spectral efficiency transmission in optical fiber communications for which the frequency guard band between neighboring wavelength channels continues to shrink. In this paper, we derive closed-form analytical expressions for nonlinear system performance of densely spaced coherent optical OFDM (CO-OFDM) systems. The closed-form solutions include the results for the achievable Q factor, optimum launch power density, nonlinear threshold of launch power density, and information spectral efficiency limit. These analytical results clearly identify their dependence on system parameters including fiber dispersion, number of spans, dispersion compensation ratio, and overall bandwidth. The closed-form solution is further substantiated by numerical simulations using distributed nonlinear Schrodinger equation. (c) 2010 Optical Society of America
