An adaptive algorithm of fine synchronization for intermediate frequency architecture coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CO-OFDM) transmission system is proposed. The whole synchronization procedure is separated into two steps. In the first step, we use an auto-correlation-style algorithm to achieve the coarse symbol synchronization. In the second step, the proposed algorithm is used to achieve the adaptive fine synchronization. The merit of the proposed algorithm is that it can realize fine synchronization under different environments without adjusting the detect-threshold of timing metric in a dynamically reconfiguration network. And also the algorithm can implement in field-programmable gate array (FPGA) or other digital signal processing (DSP) chips easily. In this paper, the CO-OFDM model is analyzed in theory firstly. Secondly, an analysis on the performance of coarse synchronization algorithm used in this paper is made. Finally, the proposed fine synchronization algorithm is introduced in detail. The simulation experiment result demonstrates that the proposed algorithm achieves fine synchronization under different signal noise ratio (SNR) conditions after 6 fiber-spans transmission.
