High Performance 400 Gigabit Ethernet Links using Hybrid Multiband CAP/QAM Scheme

We propose the first combined 4×100Gb/s hybrid multiband CAP-16 transmitter and QAM-16 receiver system and simulations show that it has 0.7 dBo (2.2 dBo) more power margin than 8×50Gb/s (4×100Gb/s) PAM-4 over DML (EML) SMF link. This work was partly supported by the European Union under a Marie Curi...

Description
Summary:We propose the first combined 4×100Gb/s hybrid multiband CAP-16 transmitter and QAM-16 receiver system and simulations show that it has 0.7 dBo (2.2 dBo) more power margin than 8×50Gb/s (4×100Gb/s) PAM-4 over DML (EML) SMF link. This work was partly supported by the European Union under a Marie Curie Intra-European Fellowship for Career Development (CEEOALAN project) and by the UK EPSRC via the INTERNET project. This is the accepted manuscript. The final version is available at https://www.osapublishing.org/abstract.cfm?uri=OFC-2015-Th2A.65.
