In this study, we propose a new nonlinear companding transform to improve the performance of direct detection optical OFDM transmission systems. The demonstration is realized by Monte-Carlo simulation of the intensity modulation and direct detection DCOOFDM optical transmission system at 40 Gbps over a 80 km of standard single mode fiber link. The influence of the companding parameters on the performance of system in different nonlinear transmission conditions has been investigated via simulation.}, type={Article}, title={A Simple Nonlinear Companding Transfrom for Nonlinear Compensation of Direct-Detection Optical OFDM Systems}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/117102/PDF/71_2423_Ngo_skl.pdf}, doi={10.24425/ijet.2020.134007}, keywords={nonlinear compensation, companding transform, DCO-OFDM, PAPR reduction, direct detection}, }
