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.

Article Synopsis
  • This paper examines how well a 100 Gb/s coherent passive optical network (PON) can handle laser phase noise using distributed feedback (DFB) lasers as local oscillators.
  • The study employs digitally subcarrier-multiplexed (DSCM) signals generated with Alamouti encoding, showing strong performance with power budgets of 34.2 dB and 33.9 dB over a 25 km fiber link, depending on the type of laser used.
  • Advanced digital signal processing techniques are utilized for phase noise compensation and frequency offset estimation, highlighting the importance of low-pass filter settings and pre-equalization for optimal system performance.

The surging growth in data traffic has necessitated the development of higher-speed, lower-latency intensity modulation and direct detection (IM/DD) passive optical networks (PONs) with higher power budgets. 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).

In this Letter, we report a second-order silicon photonic (SiP) coupled resonator optical waveguide (CROW) filter with an ultra-narrow 10-dB bandwidth of 1.75 GHz and a high extinction ratio (ER) of ∼50 dB. By utilizing this CROW filter, we demonstrated an innovative self-coherent detection, called carrier-extracted self-coherent (CESC) detection.
