Abstract:
Building upon an 8-tap delayed silicon-on-insulator (SOI) photonic neural network (PNN) pre-equalizer validated at 10-GHz bandwidth orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) intensity-modulation direct detection (IMDD), we experimentally probe the operational boundaries of this architecture by scaling to 20-GHz bandwidth operation and 16-QAM modulation. We quantify performance across 5/10/20-GHz OFDM bandwidths and QAM4/QAM16, approaching the sampling limit imposed by the fixed 25-ps tap spacing. In this way, we experimentally demonstrate its applicability to preserve the signal integrity near the Nyquist limit with improvements in all tested configurations.

Semiconductors
Metals such as copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), or lead (Pb) have low resistivity and feature conduction bands that are either not fully occupied or overlap with the valence band, making a bandgap non-existent. This allows electrons in the highest energy levels of the valence band to easily transition to the conduction band upon gaining...
