Abstract :
Even though OFDM is a well established modulation format in the wireless community, it is relatively new in fibe-roptics. In this paper we give an overview of the past, present and future of optical OFDM for long-haul fiber-optic transmission systems and discuss several application spaces for the commercialization of optical OFDM.
