Title: Mixed domain coherent link with electrically reconfigurable IMDD and coherent modes for O-band data center applications

Journal Article · · Optics Express
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1364/OE.532184 · OSTI ID:2461632

We report the first O-band link with electrically reconfigurable intensity-modulation direct-detection (IMDD) and coherent operation using custom silicon photonic chips packaged with commercial electronic chips. Transmission below the KP4-FEC threshold is shown using commercial 53 Gbaud PAM4 digital signal processing (DSP) for 16QAM (200 Gbps/ λ ) and PAM4 (100 Gbps/ λ ). Efficient operation of the packaged full link at 12 and 11.2 pJ/bit is achieved for the PAM4 and 16QAM modes, respectively.
