Abstract: In this letter, we conceive a multi-layered coding scheme for the recently proposed Layered Asymmetrically Clipped Optical Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (LACO-OFDM) system, which exploits its layered structure for protecting the information bits transmitted in the base layer. Explicitly, we intrinsically integrate error correction into the layered structure of the LACO-OFDM system and invoke soft iterative decoding between the layers at the receiver. Our system operates within 2 dB of the capacity limit at a BER of 10^{−4}.
