This document discusses OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) technology. It begins by listing some key advantages of OFDM including its effectiveness in combating inter-symbol interference, lower complexity compared to other techniques, and use of digital transmitters and receivers. It then provides more details on OFDM including that it is a multicarrier modulation technique different from FDM and WDM. It describes the basic system description of an OFDM system including the use of IFFT at the transmitter and FFT at the receiver. It discusses the purpose and need for a cyclic prefix in OFDM systems. It also covers different types of OFDM for optical communications and lists some disadvantages of OFDM such as high peak-to-average power
