OOK signal performance below the KR-FEC threshold of 2.1×10-5 and 200 GbaudPAM4 signal performance below the HD-FEC threshold. This is a significant improvement compared to [9,10]. … We first show eye diagrams for the EML-based transmitter at ob2b for 256GbaudOOK and 200 GbaudPAM4 signals. Then we show eye diagrams for all modulation formats and both transmitters after transmission over a different length of SMF …
Abstract
We demonstrate a record 310/256 Gbaud OOK, 197/145 Gbaud PAM4, and 160/116 Gbaud PAM6 EML/DML-based IM/DD links without any optical amplification with performance below the 6.25% overhead HD-FEC threshold after 100-m/6-km SMF, respectively.
