We present a laser phase noise (PN) induced effect of a phase-modulation-to-intensity-modulation conversion noise and noise pedestals underneath each of the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) subcarriers in a selfcoherent optical OFDM transmission using a self-homodyne technique. We p...
