Hardware-efficient multiplier-free complex-valued shift-add neural network equalizer for 210-Gb/s 128-QAM SSB-DD links.
The rapid growth of data-center traffic is driving demand for high-capacity and spectrally efficient optical interconnects. Single-sideband (SSB) transmission with high-order quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) is attractive for scale-across direct-detection links, because it avoids dispersion-induced power fading. H...
