Advanced modulation formats combined with digital signal processing and direct detection is a promising way to realize high capacity, low cost and power efficient short reach optical transmission system. In this paper, we present a detailed investigation on the performance of three advanced modulation formats for 100 Gb/s short reach transmission system. They are PAM-4, CAP-16 and DMT. The detailed digital signal processing required for each modulation format is presented. Comprehensive simulations are carried out to evaluate the performance of each modulation format in terms of received optical power, transmitter bandwidth, relative intensity noise and thermal noise. The performance of each modulation format is also experimentally studied. To the best of our knowledge, we report the first demonstration of a 112 Gb/s transmission over 10km of SSMF employing single band CAP-16 with EML. Finally, a comparison of computational complexity of DSP for the three formats is presented.

Anti-crack performance of concrete with phosphorus slag and fly ash singly and compositely added is investigated in terms of physical performance, hydration heat, dry shrinkage and creep. Index K is introduced to evaluate the crack resistance of phosphorus slag concrete. Results show that the strength of phosphorus slag concrete increases with the increase of fineness, and when surface specific area is greater than 300 m 2 /kg, the tendency slows down. Strength decreases with phosphorus slag content increasing and there is an optimal content existing between 30% and 50%. Both phosphorus slag and fly ash have obvious effect on elongating time setting, reducing hydration heat to a large extent and increasing creep value. Crack resistance of phosphorus slag concrete is divided into three stages, namely early hazardous stage, growth stage and later mature stage. With microstructure analysis, mechanism of effect of phosphorus slag on concrete performances and P and F on cement hydration is explored. It is concluded after comprehensive evaluation that the crack resistance of phosphorus slag concrete is approximate to, even to some extent better than that of fly ash concrete.
