We present the design guidelines for novel passive ar- rayed waveguide grating (AWG) devices to all-optically implement time-frequency packing techniques in orthogonal frequency divi- sion multiplexing (OFDM) systems. The proposed approach can increase the spectral efficiency in long-haul fiber links. We analyze the system performances, evaluating the maximum achievable in- formation rate and spectral efficiency, and we found the optimal AWG layout to maximize the overall system capacity. We demon- strate, through simulations, that an overall 1.4 Tb/s transmission over 200 GHz bandwidth can be reached, using two polarizations, quadrature phase shift keying modulation, and digital feedback equalization.

Abstract
We present the design guidelines for novel passive ar- rayed waveguide grating (AWG) devices to all-optically implement time-frequency packing techniques in orthogonal frequency divi- sion multiplexing (OFDM) systems. The proposed approach can increase the spectral efficiency in long-haul fiber links. We analyze the system performances, evaluating the maximum achievable in- formation rate and spectral efficiency, and we found the optimal AWG layout to maximize the overall system capacity. We demon- strate, through simulations, that an overall 1.4 Tb/s transmission over 200 GHz bandwidth can be reached, using two polarizations, quadrature phase shift keying modulation, and digital feedback equalization.
