We design and implement a cost-effective and compact 100-Gb/s (2 × 50 Gb/s) PAM-4 receiver optical sub-assembly (ROSA) by using a TO-can package instead of an expensive box-type package. It consists of an optical demultiplexer, two PIN-PDs and a 2-channel linear transimpedance amplifier. The components are passively aligned and assembled using alignment marks engraved on each part. With a real-time PAM-4 DSP chip, we measured the back-to-back receiver sensitivities of the 100-Gb/s ROSA based on TO-56 to be less than -13.2 dBm for both channels at a bit error rate of 2.4e-4. The crosstalk penalty due to the adjacent channel interference was observed around 0.1 dB.

In this Letter, a complex-valued double-sideband 16QAM (CV-DSB-16QAM) signaling scheme is proposed and experimentally demonstrated in a 100-Gb/s intensity modulation/direct detection (IM/DD) interconnection system. Unlike the conventional real-valued double-sideband (DSB) quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) of relatively lower spectral efficiency (SE) and single-sideband (SSB) QAM relying on sharp-edged optical filtering, the CV-DSB-16QAM signal is generated by combining two independent sideband modulated QPSK signals using a single intensity modulator with an optical filtering-free profile, which also saves one photodiode and one analog-to-digital-converter compared with the twin-SSB scheme. Compared to typical pulse amplitude modulation or SSB schemes, the proposed approach offers a compelling alternative for complex-valued DD systems' evolution, particularly in scenarios with high SE demands and controllable chromatic dispersion.

To address the inherent limitations of traditional silica-based solid-core fibers, anti-resonant hollow-core fibers have garnered significant attention from both academia and industry. In this Letter, we present an experimental demonstration of 100 Gb/s PAM-4 IM/DD PON transmission over a 20 km anti-resonant hollow-core fiber in the C band, utilizing low-complexity digital signal processing (DSP).

By utilizing this CROW filter, we demonstrated an innovative self-coherent detection, called carrier-extracted self-coherent (CESC) detection.
