Inhalt:
In this publication, we investigate and compare two approaches for flexible transmission systems with intensity modulation and direct detection for inter data center communications, namely discrete multi-tone and time domain hybrid pulse amplitude modulation. Both transmission approaches were used to vary the data rate between 56 and 112 Gb/s with fine granularity. Vestigial side-band transmission was used in order to avoid the power fading effect. Inter-symbol interference due to chromatic dispersion was compensated using digital signal processing at the receiver side. In an experimental verification of the DMT setup, we successfully transmitted 56 Gb/s over 150 km SSMF without in-line amplification.
