TL;DR: An 100 Gbit/s hybrid optical fiber-wireless link is demonstrated by employing photonic heterodyning up-conversion of optical 12.5 Gbaud polarization multiplexed 16-QAM baseband signal with two free running lasers with bit-error-rate performance below the FEC limit.

Sirius: A Flat Datacenter Network with Nanosecond Optical Switching
Hitesh Ballani,Paolo Costa,Raphael Behrendt,Daniel Cletheroe,Istvan Haller,Krzysztof Jozwik,Fotini Karinou,Sophie Lange,Kai Shi,Benn C. Thomsen,Hugh E. Williams +10 more
TL;DR: Sirius, an optically-switched network for datacenters providing the abstraction of a single, high-radix switch that can connect thousands of nodes---racks or servers---in a datacenter while achieving nanosecond-granularity reconfiguration, is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Volterra and Wiener Equalizers for Short-Reach 100G PAM-4 Applications
TL;DR: The most critical points related to high-speed Volterra filter design and implementation are investigated and a simple guidance for filter complexity reduction and useful hints for channel acquisition are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
