Modern intra-data center (IDC) interconnects leverage robust and low-cost intensity modulation (IM) and direct detection (DD) optical links, based on multimode fibers (MMFs) and vertical-cavity sur…
Multimode fibers (MMFs) links using vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) are still the solution of choice for today’s data center shorter distances thanks to their low cost and robust…
We present a detailed statistical study on achievable reach of 100 Gbps data center optical links based on vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSEL) and multimode fibers (MMF). Based on the c…
We investigateon a two-fiber short-reach self-homodyne coherent transmission system without optical amplification,where the same transmission laser is used to generate a modulated signal carrying u…
International standardization bodies (IEEE and ITU-T) working on the evolution of transmission technologies are still considering traditional direct detection solutions for the most relevant short-…
We report on two recirculating loop transmission experiments over a hollow-core fiber of the Nested-Antiresonant Nodeless type (NANF). We transmitted 61 channels in C-band at 32 GBaud, with either …
We derived an approximate non-linear interference (NLI) closed-form model (CFM), capable of handling a very broad range of optical WDM system scenarios. We tested the CFM over 8500 randomized C-ban…
