Abstract :
Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is currently discussed as an attractive format to overcome physical impairments in spectrally efficient optical communication links such as modal dispersion, chromatic dispersion and polarization mode dispersion. This paper reviews recent progress in the field.
