As data center traffic increases, challenges rise for existing optical transceivers. For data
center interconnects (DCIs) transmission distance matters and drives specifications of …

Emerging short-reach data center interconnect is a scenario wherein the capacity has to be
maximized over point-to-point optical links without intermediate optical amplification. Most of …

The burgeoning capacity demand for both optical transport links over metro/long-haul
distances (> 100km) and short reach optical interconnects (100m-20km) for inter-and intra …

In recent years, the continuous growth of Internet traffic is boosting the demand of short-
reach optical links in data centers, vastly driven by new applications such as Cloud …

Currently there are multiple approaches considered by the optical communications
community in order to scale-up the transceiver bit-rates beyond the Tb/s mark. Those include …

The term DCI, an acronym for data center interconnect, is generally accepted to refer to the
optical interconnects between physical data centers that traverse distances greater than 2 …

BACKGROUND Conventional receivers in optical communication systems are usually
designed to maximize receiver sensitivity. This approach originates from telecommunication …

Recently, the digital coherent technology has also been applied to shorter-reach
applications, such as metro-area networks and data center interconnects (DCI). In such …

In this tutorial, we discuss the evolution of the technology deployed for optical interconnects
