64 GBd DP-Bipolar-8ASK Transmission over 120 km SSMF Employing a Monolithically Integrated Driver and MZM in 0.25-um SiGe BiCMOS Technology
Gilda Raoof Mehrpoor, Carsten Schmidt-Langhorst, Benjamin Wohlfeil +13
We demonstrate 64 GBd signal generation up to bipolar-8-ASK utilizing a single MZM, monolithically integrated with segmented drivers in SiGe. Using polarization multiplexing, 300-G…
Flexible metro network architecture based on wavelength blockers and coherent transmission
Annika Dochhan, Robert Emmerich, Pablo Wilke Berenguer +4
A flexible semi-filterless architecture for metro DWDM networks with ring- or horseshoe topologies is presented. ROADM nodes are based on wavelength blockers. Coherent transmission…
