We demonstrate DML-based net 325-Gb/s at backto-back and 321.24-Gb/s after 2-km standard single-mode fiber transmissions for >300-Gbps/λ short-reach optical interconnects. Our net rate performance denotes an increase of ~34 % compared to our previous works, while the pre-FEC rates are >400 Gbps. The DML transmitter is based on a PPR-enhanced, >100-GHzbandwidth DML, fabricated by our novel membrane-III-V-on-SiC technology. Also wide-band, entropy-loaded DMT modulation is utilized based on a novel adaptive algorithm and via a digitallypreprocessed analog multiplexer. These results pave the way towards low-cost and energy-efficient Terabit Ethernet and a significant step towards achieving DML-based 400-Gbps/λ IM/DD systems in the future.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
