Abstract:
A characterization approach for optical IQ transmitter’s skew, frequency response and nonlinear properties is presented. Its effectiveness is proven by performance measurements of digitally predistorted PM-64QAM at 384Gbit/s. Special attention is given to the optical loss induced by modulation.
