200 Gbps/λ PON Downstream C-Band Direct-Detection Links with ≥29 dB Power Budget

In this paper we present the simulative analysis of a 200 Gbps per wavelength (<i>λ</i>) 8-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM-8) downstream communication over up to 20 km single mode fiber (SMF) in C-band based on direct detection (DD) achieving at least a 29 dB link power budget in a...
