In this letter, we propose layered asymmetrically clipped optical-orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (LACO-OFDM) with index modulation (IM), i.e., LACO-OFDM-IM for optical wireless systems. classical LACO-OFDM, the spectral leakage because of out-of-band clipping harmonics increases baseband bandwidth (BB) resulting in lower efficiencies. For LACO-OFDM-IM, use IM and optimize BB by filt...
