Abstract:
We apply an improved version of Tomlinson-Harashima precoding (THP), called lattice precoding (LP), to intensity modulation & direct detection (IM/DD) in short-reach optical fiber communications for data center network (DCN). We show that LP offers a significant gain greater than 6 dB over conventional methods and reach expansion by up to 21%.

Research Areas: Communications, Electronic and Photonic Devices, Signal ProcessingBrief- Two papers from the Optical Communications team were presented at the 2017 European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC) held in Gothenburg, Sweden in September 2017. The papers relate to enhanced error correction coding for coherent optical links and advanced precoding for optical data center networks. The invited paper studied irregular polar coding to reduce computational complexity, decoding latency, and bit error rate at the same time. In addition to two papers, the team member was invited to talk about constellation shaping as a workshop panelist.
