Due to the rapid increase in network traffic in the last few years, many telecommunication
operators have started transitions to 100-Gb/s optical networks and beyond. However, high …

As 100-Gb/s coherent systems based on polarization-division multiplexed quadrature phase
shift keying (PDM-QPSK), with aggregate wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) capacities …

We design staircase codes with overheads between 6.25% and 33.3% for high-speed
optical transport networks. Using a reduced-complexity simulation of staircase coded …

We report a two-span, 67-km space-division-multiplexed (SDM) wavelength-division-
multiplexed (WDM) system incorporating the first reconfigurable optical add–drop …

Spatial division multiplexing (SDM) has been presented as a key solution to circumvent the
nonlinear Shannon limit of standard single-core fibers. To implement SDM, multi-core fiber …

We report a 2: 1 selector-driver based on a differential distributed amplifier realized in a 0.7-
μ m indium phosphide double heterojunction bipolar transistor technology. From transistors …

We experimentally demonstrated transmitting 40× 117.6 Gb/s 16 quadrature amplitude
modulation with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing modulation over 10 181 km. The …

High order modulation formats allow to reach higher spectral efficiency and data rate.
However, their practical implementation is limited by their reduced tolerance to noise and to …

In this paper we propose a reconfigurable forward error correction decoder for beyond 100
Gbps high speed optical links. The decoders for product codes can be configured to support …

The problem of finding efficiently the first k minimum or maximum values is generally met in
many application fields, such as error control coding. More specifically, optimized solutions …
