Real-Time FPGA-Based Intradyne Coherent Receiver for 40 Gbit/s Polarization-Multiplexed 16-QAM
06 March 2011
Real-time detection of a 40 Gbit/s polarization-multiplexed square 16-QAM signal is demonstrated in an FPGA-based intradyne coherent receiver processing 100% of data. A minimum BER of 3.3×10-5 is achieved. OCIS codes: (060.1660) Coherent communications; (060.4510) Optical communications
