| Summary: | Estudio y optimización de parámetros en sistemas de transmisión por fibra óptica usando modulación OFDM y detección directa. [ANGLÈS] The new generation of Pasive Optical Networks (PONs) to cover the last-mile to the user, is today a hot topic of research. Stringent performance requirements are both capacity and reach; these, together with reduced cost lead to consideration of a new paradigm. In this context, Optical OFDM (O-OFDM) is regarded as a promising candidate. From the many architectures being proposed for O-OFDM, the use of Direct Detection is particularly interesting for the downlink of Passive Optical Networks as cost-efficient Optical Network Units (ONUs) are required. In this line, this work encompasses a general study of Direct Detection Optical OFDM (DD O-OFDM) communications systems with emphasis on applications to optical Access Networks. It proposes designs for the downstream links of three different access network topologies differentiated by the optical modulation used: an Intensity Modulation (IM) with a Directly Modulated Laser (DML) an IM with a Mach-Zehnder Modulator (MZM) and an Amplitude modulation also with a MZM. All systems are based on Direct Detection receivers and the transmission of O-OFDM signals. The architectures, establish a wavelength agnostic link by transmitting Double Side Band signals. The impairments of a DSB transmission are studied and parting from them an optimization on the network?s parameters of frequency Guard Band and Carrier to Signal Power Ratio is performed. In order to test the architectures and optimize the parameters, simulations were executed using the commercial software VPI Transmission Maker TM. The testing of the architectures was done by minimizing receiver sensitivity at a BER 10-3 for data rates of 10Gbps and 40Gbps using 4-QAM and 16-QAM respectively, as digital modulation formats. Results show that spectral occupancy of the O-OFDM signal and the CSPR can be optimized while at the same time compensating for DSB impairments such as amplitude ...
