IM/DD and Coherent Optical Fiber Transmission Systems: Challenges and Opportunities
The presentation will be in English / La présentation sera en anglais.
The insatiable growth of datacenter traffic mandates increasing the capacity of cost-effective transceiver technologies to meet the foreseen demand. Competing configurations include Intensity Modulation / Direct Detection (IM/DD) and coherent transceiver architectures. In this presentation we will discuss the challenges and opportunities associated with these two options including such topics as: wavelength, reach modulation format, modulator technology, and power consumption.
In partnership with the High Throughput and Secure Networks (HTSN) Challenge program at National Research Council (NRC), we invite you to join this virtual seminar series to promote scientific information sharing, discussions, and interactions between researchers.

Résumé : La croissance insatiable du trafic dans les centres de données exige l'augmentation de la capacité des technologies d'émetteurs-récepteurs rentables pour répondre à la demande prévue. Les configurations concurrentes comprennent la modulation d'intensité/détection directe (IM/DD) et les architectures d'émetteurs-récepteurs cohérents. Dans cette présentation, nous discuterons des défis et des opportunités associés à ces deux options, y compris des sujets tels que la longueur d'onde, le format de modulation de la portée, la technologie du modulateur et la consommation d'énergie.
