Researchers at imec are developing high-speed electronic and photonic integrated circuits for 100 to 130Gbaud transceivers, both for intensity-modulated direct-detect (IMDD) and for coherent optical transceivers. For a coherent transceiver, the specifications and functionality for the optics and electronics are much more demanding. The receiver DSP is also significantly more complex (compared to IMDD). Scheme ...
