High speed optical systems - the road to 100G | |
|
Abstract: The presentation will outline the key drivers and applications of high speed optical fiber networks. Furthermore, we discuss transmission challenges and key technologies for current 40G transmission systems and future 100G systems. In particular, we compare different modulation and detection techniques, including multilevel modulation with coherent detection followed by advanced electronic signal processing for equalization of link distortions like chromatic and polarization mode dispersion.
