Abstract

A digital signal processing (DSP) scheme based on Volterra equalizer (VE) combined with adaptive noise-whitening post-filter and maximum likelihood sequence detection (MLSD) is proposed to mitigate nonlinear impairments in vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSEL) multimode fiber (MMF) system. Successfully transmission of 108 Gb/s, 100 Gb/s and 60 Gb/s 4-ary pulse amplitude modulation (PAM4) signal over 5 m, 160 m and 460 m OM3-MMF is demonstrated below the 7% overhead hard-decision forward error correction (HD-FEC) bit error rate (BER) threshold by using a 20-GHz class VCSEL at 850 nm. Linear pre-equalization is applied to mitigate severe bandwidth limitation of the system. Our experimental results show that the scheme can well mitigate modulation nonlinearity induced by VCSEL and fiber nonlinearity induced by MMF. The BER decreases about two order of magnitude compared to linear equalizer after 100 m OM3-MMF transmission for 100 Gb/s PAM4 signal.
