Practical Solutions for 400 Gbit/s Data Center Transmission

Signal Processing 2020-09-23 v1

Abstract

We review three solutions for low-cost data center interconnects with a target reach of up to 80 km. Directly detected DMT, PAM-4 and multi-band CAP are promising modulation schemes, enabling 400 Gbit/s by combining eight channels of 56 Gbit/s.
