100-112 Gbit/s complete ETDM systems based on monolithically integrated transmitter and receiver modules

• Traditional intensity modulated two-level electrical time-division multiplexing (ETDM) transmission systems working at 100-112 Gbit/s were investigated. The complete ETDM systems based on monolithically integrated transmitter and receiver modules were demonstrated with bit-error-rate (BER) performance of 10-8 at 107 Gbit/s, and near error-free standard forward error correction (FEC) threshold (2×10-3) at 112 Gbit/s. The experiment results showed that directly modulated high-speed ETDM transmission systems with the symbol rates at 100 Gbaud and beyond were promising candidate for cost-effective 100 GbE applications and might be a preform of the next generation of Terabit/s Ethernet.
