Beyond 200 Gb/s/lane: An Analytical Approach to Optimal Detection in Shaped IM-DD Optical Links with Relative Intensity Noise
Felipe Villenas, Kaiquan Wu, Yunus Can Gültekin +2
Next-generation intensity-modulation (IM) and direct-detection (DD) systems used in data centers are expected to operate at 400 Gb/s/lane and beyond. Such rates can be achieved by…

A New 5 bit/2D-symbol Modulation Format for Relative Intensity Noise-dominated IM-DD Systems
Felipe Villenas, Kaiquan Wu, Yunus Can Gültekin +2
We propose a novel 5-bit/2D-symbol modulation format based on PAM-6 optimized for IM-DD systems dominated by relative intensity noise. The proposed modulation scheme improves SNR b…

On Geometric Shaping for 400 Gbps IM-DD Links with Laser Intensity Noise
Felipe Villenas, Kaiquan Wu, Yunus Can Gültekin +2
We propose geometric shaping for IM-DD links dominated by relative intensity noise (RIN). For 400 Gbps links, our geometrically-shaped constellations result in error probability im…
