Real-time polarization division multiplexed coherent optical OFDM receiver is demonstrated to receive 28.6-Gb/s data stream per optical wavelength and per optical OFDM band. QPSK modulated sub-carriers are successfully detected using 9.83-GS/s ADCs and digital signal processing implemented on three FPGAs.
