摘要

In coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CO-OFDM) systems, phase noise of transmitter and local oscillator lasers has an important impact on system performance. In this letter, a partial pilot filling compensation scheme is analyzed and compared to conventional common phase error compensation and RF-pilot-based phase noise compensation. The effects of phase noise for various laser linewidths and of received optical power on system performance are evaluated. A CO-OFDM transmission system with 4-QAM is simulated with VPI transmissionMaker V8.7.
