We investigate feasibility of carrier frequency offset (CFO) compensation method using optical feedback path for coherent
optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CO-OFDM) system. CFO compensation is one of most important issues
in OFDM system, since the CFO breakes orthogonality among OFDM subrarriers and it causes critical degradation in signal quality.
In CO-OFDM, the CFO tends to be high because of laser instability. Thus wide CFO compensation range is essential. Recently
proposed CFO compensation algorithms provide wide CFO estimation range. They compensate CFO after anlog-to-digital convertor
(ADC). Then, CFO compensation range is limited by sampling rate of the ADC. Thus, the sampling rate should be much higher than
CFO and/or data bandwidth. Because of high price of ADC, it is not affordable in practical CO-OFDM. To solve this problem, we
propose a CFO compensation method having optical feedback path. The measured CFO is used to control local oscillator’s wavelength
for CFO compensation. Since the CFO is compensated before ADC, the compensation range is not affected by the ADC. Residual
CFO can be compensated by conventional CFO compensation methods. The feasibility of the proposed method is experimentally
investigated. We showed that the practical CFO compensation range can be extended to the sampling frequency range, regardless of
sampling rate of ADC. Although the proposed method is based on OFDM, the proposed method works in all coherent modulation
formats with minor modification.
