This paper focused on long-haul optical systems using four Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (4-QAM) methods for OFDM systems. The analysis demonstrates the impact of choosing a Gaussian, Rectangular, or Trapezoidal optical Filter on the effectiveness of the optical system used for long-distance high data rate transmission. Compared with other systems for long-distance transmission using various filter types, 4-QAM OFDM showed a high Bit Error Rate (BER) performance. Significant findings like transmitting Power received Power, and Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) is compared with the system's propagation length. https://ijnaa.semnan.ac.ir/article_7574_9521481de581fc823e40005490ce9b6f.pdf
