In this paper we suggest an OFDM star network based on carrier distribution and homodyne detection in which all optical carriers generated and stabilized in a specific node are distributed to each node. We studied ASK and PSK modulation schemes and calculated rspective SNRs and BERs for this network. We also discussed on the optical power requirement on the light sources for 200 Mb/s transmission speed. As a result, we found tht ASK and PSK respectively require 13 dBm and 10 dBm for 32 nodes and the nmber of nodes can be expanded to 73 with only 0 dBm of power and minimum insertion losses of components. The proposed network is more reliable than the conventional ones due to the centralized carrier maintenance andthe network is suitable for the adverse environment of the nodes.
