Abstract:
We present a novel 10G linear burst-mode receiver (LBMRx). Equipped with a PIN photodiode, a high sensitivity of -22.7 dBm (bit-error rate: 1.1x10(-3)) was achieved when handling bursts with a dynamic range of 22.7 dB (each -22.7 dBm burst was preceded by a 0 dBm burst). The LBMRx requires a 150 ns preamble for fast gain adjustment at the start of each burst and can handle bursts separated by a guard time as short as 25.6 ns. With electronic dispersion compensation, 3400 ps/nm (200 km) chromatic dispersion can be tolerated at 2dB penalty in ASE-impaired links using C-band electro-absorption modulators.
