Investigation of Tolerable Laser Linewidth for Different Modulation Formats in CO-OFDM Systems

Abstract: The ideal behavior of communication system requires a single frequency carrier. In optical communication system, light is used as a carrier. Practical laser source has a finite linewidth due to variations in the frequency of operation, hence, resulting in undesired phase perturbations in the signal whereas the ideal requirement is the delta function spectral shape at the carrier frequency. The spectral shape gets broadened due to phase noise and is modeled as lorentzian shape. Linewidth is a measure of stabili… Show more

“…We anticipate that there will be a second generation of this device, which could be expected to give improved performance and linewidth results. However, the reduced linewidth as a result of the injection can still enable the device to be used with higher order modulation formats at high baud rates [24].…”

“…Thus, the large phase noise exhibited by megahertz linewidth lasers is not suitable for coherent optical communications. This led to a refinement in laser technology which now allows the TLSs employed in coherent optical communication systems to exhibit optical laser linewidths on the order of 100 kHz [21].…”

“…This is manifested as frequency noise, which is typically measured as the power spectral density ( PSD ν ). Frequency noise is a key performance indicator of a laser as it can be used to describe its stability and to analytically derive a laser linewidth [ 1 ], which is fundamental to determining the resolution in frequency metrology [ 2 ], sensitivity of an optical coherent sensing system [ 3 ], and the spectrum efficiency in coherent optical communications [ 4 ].…”
