Abstract— This letter proposes an optimized launch power the fiber nonlinearity [3]. It is important to optimize the DFB
for the direct detection of optical orthogonal frequency-division modulator taking into consideration the PFC effect. This is
multiplexing (DD-OOFDM) for radio-over-fiber (RoF). The aim because the PFC induces signal spread similar to the chromatic
is to optimize the physical layer connectivity for the third
generation partnership program—long-term evolution employing dispersion (CD) and thus jointly contributing to the signal dis-
RoF technologies. We also analytically derive an expression for tortion over a long propagation span. Therefore, it is desirable
the distributed-feedback laser, laser-induced positive frequency to employ a chirp free external modulator in long haul fiber

DD-OOFDM. Results show that transmiss
