Clayton, shown that OFDM is also a promising
VIC technology for optical communications. To
achieve this in optical systems OFDM must be
adapted in various ways. The constraints
imposed by single mode optical fiber,
multimode optical fiber and optical wireless are
discussed and the new forms of OFDM have
developed.

and a 100 Gb/s OFDM-PON.First quantify the
performance of the OFDM signal when
subjected to the noise produced by two different
Rayleigh backscattering (RB) components that
are present in the carrier-distributed PON.
Finally, we propose a 100 Gb/s OFDM-PON
using subcarrier multiplexing (SCM).
