Abstract

See full text

Techniques for optical communications using optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) include operating a signal transmitter to modulate laser light to produce modulated light that carries, in optical domain, OFDM subcarriers for carrying communication information, without a frequency guard band between the OFDM subcarriers, and pilot subcarriers for channel estimation at a signal receiver, each pilot subcarrier being free of communication information, and controlling optical power of the pilot subcarriers to vary with optical frequencies of the pilot subcarriers so that optical power of a pilot subcarrier at a high optical frequency is different from optical power of another pilot subcarrier at a low optical frequency.
