100G Coherent Real-time Receivers
Event type: Panel
Room number: 515A
Organizer: Thomas H. Wood;
LGS, USA
Description: Commercial 100 Gb/s systems are in development or on the market from several systems vendors. A key element in the system is the coherent 100G receiver, which generally includes a digital signal processor. In a reversal of general practice, practical real-time receivers have appeared in the marketplace before their being used in research labs, which have relied on off-line digital signal processing. This panel discussion will cover the technology status, choices, maturity, cost drivers, etc. for these receivers. Both ASIC and potential FPGA-based implementations will be described. Discussion of closely related aspects, including choices of modulation formats, DSP-based receivers at 40 G, paths to even higher speeds, etc., will be welcome.
