We propose to combine 4D trellis-coded modulation (TCM) with transmitter-side Tomlinson-Harashima precoding (THP) in IM/DD transmissions, and experimentally investigate the achieved performance improvement. Theoretically, THP can approximately produce an end-to-end additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel even with severe bandwidth limitation, allowing TCM to maintain its coding gain in the presence of inter-symbol interference. In our experiments with off-the-shelf commercial components, which limit the 3 dB bandwidth of the system to be ~3.5 GHz, the combination of TCM and THP shows a better receiver sensitivity for various system bit rates from 56 Gbit/s to 112 Gbit/s, considering the KP4 threshold of BER = 2 × 10. In the 112 Gbit/s back-to-back (B2B) transmission, with the help of THP the receiver sensitivity is improved by 3.3 dB using 4D-PAM4 TCM at the KP4 FEC threshold compared with using conventional PAM4. In addition, combining TCM and THP also helps to lower the BER floor.

In this work, we implemented a short-reach real-time optical communication system using MLP for pre-distortion. Lookup table (LUT) algorithms are commonly employed for pre-distortion in intensity modulation and direct detection (IM/DD) systems. However, storage limitations typically restrict the LUT pattern length to 9, limiting its effectiveness in compensating for nonlinear effects.

Additionally, the introduction of bismuth-doped fiber amplifiers (BDFAs) results in less nonlinear impact and a higher link budget compared with semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs). However, with these key issues resolved, the system bandwidth limitation emerges as the next critical bottleneck for high-speed O-band DCI transmission that limits overall performance.

In this work, four-channel wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) uplink/downlink twin single-sideband (twin-SSB) signals are implemented by a wavelength selective switch (WSS) at once, which simplifies the structure of multi-channel SSB transmitters and reduces the cost of high-capacity optical interconnect. Compared to a double sideband scheme, it has been experimentally proven that the performance of SSB transmission over standard single-mode fiber (SSMF) at C-band with an ultra-high baud rate has been greatly improved, which has the ability to effectively overcome the power fading induced by chromatic dispersion in an intensity modulation and direct detection (IM/DD) system.

- The Letter introduces a secure 3D faster-than-Nyquist non-orthogonal multiple access (3D-FTN-NOMA) scheme utilizing non-orthogonal discrete Fourier transform (NODFT) precoding and chaotic perturbation for enhanced security.
- It highlights the 3D-NOMA signal generation and addresses security issues by implementing chaotic vector technology to perturb user information, achieving a transmission rate of 105.98 Gb/s in practical tests over a 2 km fiber system.
- The scheme leverages NODFT precoding to enable low-order modulation formats to achieve high transmission capacity, resulting in a 5 dB sensitivity gain and effectively tackling dual security vulnerabilities for secure signal transmission.
The increasing traffic of intra-data center networks creates an urgent demand for low-cost and high-speed intensity modulation/direct detection (IM/DD) transmission. In this Letter, we propose a joint scheme combining nonlinear lookup table (NL-LUT) pre-distortion, digital pre-emphasis (DPE), and a digital resolution enhancer (DRE) to achieve high-speed and low-cost IM/DD optical links using a low-resolution digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The NL-LUT and DPE are responsible for the system nonlinear impairments and channel attenuation at high frequency, respectively, while DRE handles the quantization noise (QN) caused by high peak-to-average ratios (PAPRs) and low-resolution DAC.
