Optical communication systems for datacenter networks

Presents a collection of slides covering the following topics: multidimensional modulation formats that can be directly detected are reviewed in context of intra-DC applications; These formats achieve higher capacity than legacy OOK while avoiding coherent; DSP is key to invert Pol. Rotation + mitigate ISI; Integration of all discrete optical components at transmitter and receiver (currently on-going effort); Real-time demos of DSP algorithms that were implemented offline; Improved DSP algorithms that require less resources and Detailed study of power consumption of proposed solutions.
