Coherent Optical Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing

Abstract

Coherent optical orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (CO-OFDM) incorporates the benefits of OFDM to compensate for distortion and monitor the channel conditions in long-haul optical links. The advantages of CO-OFDM can help meet the challenges of future optical networks that Australia depends upon for its information infrastructure and economic growth. Australia is currently at the forefront of optical OFDM technology, and the continuation of these research activities will further improve Australia's international ICT reputation. Furthermore, in the course of the project, a senior research associate and multiple highly-skilled students will be trained and exposed to techniques and inn..
