4-PAM for high-speed short-range optical communications
Journal article, 2012
In this work, we compare 4-pulse amplitude
modulation and on–off keying modulation formats at high
speed for short-range optical communication systems. The
transmission system comprised a directly modulated verticalcavity
surface-emitting laser operating at a wavelength of
850 nm, an OM3Å multimode fiber link, and a photodetector
detecting the intensity at the receiver end. The modulation
formats were compared both at the same bit-rate and at the
same symbol rate. The maximum bit-rate used was 25 Gbps.
Propagation distances up to 600 m were investigated at
12.5 Gbps. All measurements were done in real time and
without any equalization.
