56-Gbps 4-PAM system over nearly 40 km transmission by employing an O-band EML and SOA

This work demonstrates a 56-Gbps 4-PAM EML-based transmission system. Using an O-band SOA to increase power budget and FFE/DFE to compensate SOA-induced ISI, 37.8-km transmission is successfully implemented with BER below the FEC limit (2 × 10−4)

67.6% Improvement in data rate employing partial transmit sequence for PAPR reduction and volterra filtering in an OFDM long-reach PON

We applied partial transmit sequence and Volterra filtering to achieve 67.6% improvement in capacity in a high-launch-power 60-km OFDM LR-PON. 61-Gbps capacity and 30-dB loss budget were realized to support 64 ONUs with 0.95 Gbps/ONU.

Equalization of PAM-4 Signal Generated by Silicon Microring Modulator for 64-Gbit/s Transmission

We propose and demonstrate a 64-Gbit/s four-level pulse-amplitude-modulation transmission by using a limited modulation bandwidth silicon microring modulator (SiMRM) and the Volterra equalization scheme. Severe intersymbol interference caused by both the chromatic dispersion of the optical fiber and the bandwidth limitation of components can be compensated. Besides, several equalization schemes are compared and analyzed in terms of performance and complexity. In addition, the design and characteristics of the SiMRM used in the experiment are also discussed.
