Abstract
The performance of a novel all-optical sampling orthogonal frequency division
multiplexing (OFDM) system is proposed and analyzed. Time delays and phase shifters
are used to realize all optical forward/inverse discrete Fourier transform
(DFT/IDFT). Different system configurations are tested and analyzed to optimize the
performance, including the system capacity, modulation formats, DFT/IDFT
constructions, and the width of the sample pulse. The 50- and 100-Gb/s real-time
all-optical sampling (AOS) OFDM systems are investigated. All results are analyzed,
and useful suggestions are offered for future high-speed applications.
