We propose signal-carrier interleaved (SCI) optical OFDM for direct detected transmission systems. Such a scheme can be considered as a variation of self-coherent detection where the carrier and signal are supplied at the transmitter and extracted at the receiver for coherent-like detection. This provides high OSNR sensitivity while maintaining very low carrier-to-signal power ratio (CSR). Our experiment results show that with 0 dB CSR, 43.2 Gb/s 16 QAM OFDM signal can be successfully delivered over 80 km standard single mode fiber (SSMF) with 24 dB OSNR requirements at 7% FEC limit.
