Summary
In this tutorial, you will gain insights in conceptualizing and analyzing optical transmission systems for short-reach applications. We will demonstrate how to utilize professional simulation software while adhering to recommendations from standardization committees and multi-source agreements (MSAs). We will explore the design and performance of 800G-FR4 systems, incorporating forward error correction (FEC) with intensity modulation and direct-detection (IMDD).
Additionally, we will examine the transmission characteristics considering the 400GBASE SR4.2 standard which utilize multimode vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) and multimode fibers. Lastly, you will acquire knowledge on designing and evaluating both 400G and 1.6T ZR transmission by leveraging advanced digital signal processing (DSP) techniques for coherent technology. The tutorial will demonstrate how to efficiently automate the design and analysis processes for new standards recommendations. You will also gain insights into examining the impact of performance-limiting effects.
Speakers
Elias Giacoumidis, PhD
Title: Principal Application Engineer
Company: VPIphotonics
Dr. Elias Giacoumidis, Principal Application Engineer, possesses a wealth of expertise in the fields of optical communications, DSP, and machine learning (solution owner of VPIphotonicsToolkit Machine Learning Framework). He joined VPIphotonics in 2020 after serving as a Marie-Curie EDGE Fellow at Dublin City University and Xilinx-Dublin for two years. During this time, he developed the first real-time machine learning coherent receiver. Prior to that, Dr. Giacoumidis conducted research at the University of Sydney and Aston University for two years each, focusing on innovative coherent and direct-detection optical systems.
He also spent a year each at Telecom Paris-Tech and Heriot-Watt University, where he contributed to the development of advanced modulation/demodulation algorithms for telecom applications. Dr. Giacoumidis has substantial experience in collaborative international research projects, including CUDOS, FLEX-SCALE, QAMELEON, ACCORDANCE, KIGLIS and DISCUS. He has authored/co-authored over 120 journal and conference papers.
Dr. Giacoumidis completed his Ph.D. in optical communications at Bangor University in association with Athens Information Technology center, focusing on the development of OFDM-based transmission systems. Additionally, he obtained an M.Sc. in control systems from the University of Sheffield.
Nebras Deb, PhD
Title: Optical Systems Application Specialist
Company: VPIphotonics
Dr. Nebras Deb, an application specialist in optical communications systems. He joined VPIphotonics in 2021 after graduating from Queen’s University in Canada with a PhD in electrical and computer engineering. His PhD studies focused on advanced modulation formats in direct modulation/direct detection systems, the use of Kramers-Kroning receiver, and the required power loading in FDM systems.
Prior to that, he earned a master’s degree in electrical and computer engineering from the University of Ottawa in Canada. The focus of his master’s was on passive optical access networks, specially remodulation schemes and the impact of Rayleigh backscattering in bidirectional transmission. His current areas of interest are data center intra- and interconnects and passive optical networks.
