Claim:
1. A method for optical transmission, comprising: bit loading and power loading, with a digital signal processor (DSP), transmission bits of an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) signal; calculating, with the DSP, a signal-signal beat interference (SSBI) component of the bit and power loaded OFDM signal by modulating each subcarrier with a symbol, wherein the SSBI component is determined according to a complex conjugate of a dc carrier, a complex-valued data on one or more subcarriers, and a complex conjugate of a complex-valued data on one or more of the subcarriers; subtracting, with the DSP, the SSBI component from the bit and power loaded OFDM signal to generate an adjusted OFDM signal; and transmitting the adjusted OFDM signal.
