In recent years, short-reach optical links have attracted much more attention and have come
to constitute a key market segment due to the rapid development of data-center applications …

Short-reach transmission systems traditionally utilize intensity modulation (IM) at the
transmitter and direct detection (DD) at the receiver due to their cost-effectiveness, small …

We propose a bi-directional gated recurrent unit neural network based nonlinear equalizer
(bi-GRU NLE) for coherent optical communication systems. The performance of bi-GRU NLE …

Client-side optics are facing an ever-increasing upgrading pace, driven by upcoming 5G
related services and datacenter applications. The demand for a single lane data rate is soon …

Intensity modulation and direct detection (IM/DD) together with pulse amplitude modulation
(PAM) is a cost-efficient solution for intra-datacenter links. However, sophisticated digital …

Optical networks generate a vast amount of diagnostic, control, and performance monitoring
data. When information is extracted from these data, reconfigurable network elements and …

Responding to the growing bandwidth demand by emerging applications, such as fixed-
