Practical Solutions for 400 Gbit/s Data Center Transmission
arXiv:2009.10585 · doi:10.1364/ACPC.2016.AS1B.3
Abstract
We review three solutions for low-cost data center interconnects with a target reach of up to 80 km. Directly detected DMT, PAM-4 and multi-band CAP are promising modulation schemes, enabling 400 Gbit/s by combining eight channels of 56 Gbit/s.
The work has been partially funded by the European Union Marie Curie project ABACUS and CEEOLAN and by the German ministry of education and research (BMBF) in project SpeeD under contract 13N1374
