Abstract

This paper demonstrates the advantage of application of time domain diversity combining (TDDC) at the transmitter over the time domain diversity combining receiver (TDDR) for a single layer of ACO-OFDM in terms of reduced complexity. The paper further demonstrates the implementation of time domain delay-and-advanced operation with TDDC at the transmitter for a two-layered LACO-OFDM system, where all the subcarriers are utilized and an improved BER performance is achieved. The new improved 2-LACO-OFDM system achieves 2.7 dB, 3.3 dB and 3.7dB better optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR) than the ACO-TDDC, 2-LACO-TDDC, 3-LACO-TDDC respectively.
