A 107Gb/s net-rate DMT optical signal was generated using a single-mode long-wavelength VCSEL with a modulation bandwidth of 23GHz. We experimentally demonstrated a total net-rate up to 726.7Gb/s at 1.5 mu m over 2.5km 7-core dispersion-uncompensated MCF.

100 Gbps/lambda/core PAM-4 transmission is successfully demonstrated over 1-km and 10km single mode 7-core fiber links, enabled by directly modulated 1.5-mu m single mode VCSEL of 23 GHz modulation bandwidth with pre-and post-digital equalizations.

A multi channel reception scheme that allows each node to receive an arbitrary set of wavelengths simultaneously (i.e., collision-free) is proposed for optical interconnects. The proposed scheme only needs to use a few receivers and fixed-wavelength filters that are designed based on error-control coding theory. Experiments with up to four channel collision-free reception units are carried out to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed scheme.

A BiCMOS chip-based real-time intensity modulation/direct detection spatial division multiplexing system is experimentally demonstrated for both optical interconnects. 100 Gbps/lambda/core electrical duobinary (EDB) transmission over 1 km 7-core multicore fiber (MCF) is carried out, achieving KP4 forward error correction (FEC) limit (BER < 2E-4). Using optical dispersion compensation, 7 x 100 Gbps/lambda/core transmission of both non-retunito-zero (NRZ) and EDB signals over 10 km MCF transmission is achieved with BER lower than 7% overhead hard-decision FEC limit (BER < 3.8E-3). The integrated low complexity transceiver IC and analog signal processing approach make such a system highly attractive for the high-speed intra-datacenter interconnects.

We propose to implement physical-layer network coding (PLNC) in coupler-based passive optical interconnects. The PLNC over PAM4 system is for the first time experimentally validated, where simultaneous mutual communications can be kept within the same wavelength channel, doubling spectrum efficiency.

An arbitrary multiple-wavelength reception scheme using only a few fixed-wavelength filters is proposed for optical interconnects. Filter matrices design based on error-control coding theory is devised. The feasibility of the proposed scheme is demonstrated in a four-wavelength reception experiment.

We introduce physical-layer network coding (PLNC) technique in a passive optical interconnect (POI) architecture for datacenter networks. The implementation of the PLNC in the POI at 2.5 Gb/s and 10Gb/s have been experimentally validated while the gains in terms of network layer performances have been investigated by simulation. The results reveal that in order to realize negligible packet drop, the wavelengths usage can be reduced by half while a significant improvement in packet delay especially under high traffic load can be achieved by employing PLNC over POI.

We introduce physical-layer network coding for a passive optical interconnect architecture in datacenter networks. Results reveal that half of the wavelengths can be saved to obtain latency in the magnitude of microseconds.
