Abstract
The use of semiconductor amplifier in integrated transceivers increases sensitivity, but changes the noise statistics in pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) intensity modulation with direct detection. Using a straight-forward, mixed noise model, we optimize constellations for these systems with an autoencoder-based neural network (NN). We improve required signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) by 4 dB for amplified spontaneous emission (ASE)-limited pulse amplitude modulation (PAM)4 and PAM8, without increasing system complexity. Performance can also be improved in O-band wavelength division multiplexing systems with semiconductor optical amplification and chromatic dispersion (CD). At 53 Gbaud, our simulations show we can extend the reach of PAM4 by 4 to 8 km when combining an optimized constellation with a NN decoder. We present an experimental validation of 4 dB improvement of an ASE-limited PAM4 back-to-back transmission at 60 Gbaud using an optimized constellation and a NN decoder.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Lightwave Technology is comprised of original contributions, both regular papers and letters, covering work in all aspects of optical guided-wave science, technology, and engineering. Manuscripts are solicited which report original theoretical and/or experimental results which advance the technological base of guided-wave technology. Tutorial and review papers are by invitation only. Topics of interest include the following: fiber and cable technologies, active and passive guided-wave componentry (light sources, detectors, repeaters, switches, fiber sensors, etc.); integrated optics and optoelectronics; and systems, subsystems, new applications and unique field trials. System oriented manuscripts should be concerned with systems which perform a function not previously available, out-perform previously established systems, or represent enhancements in the state of the art in general.
