Direct Detection Transceiver at 150-Gbit/s Net Data Rate Using PAM 8 for Optical Interconnects
03 December 2015
We demonstrate a single-polarization driver-free, direct-detection 56-GBaud PAM-8 transceiver enabled by a high-speed selector power DAC fabricated in InP DHBT, and successfully transmit 168 Gbit/s line-rate over 2 km distance without optical amplification.
