Abstract :
In this paper, the principles of coherent optical Fast-OFDM and the modem design with the employment of a Wiener-Hammerstein equalizer (W-H/E) are described. Afterwards, we test 16QAM Fast-OFDM with W-H/E for up to 3500 km of transmission. Finally, we compare coherent optical Fast-OFDM with conventional CO-OFDM using W-H/E.
