[STDS-802-3-400G] Cole Presentation



Chris 

There was couple of questions on your presentation today
http://www.ieee802.org/3/bs/public/adhoc/smf/14_09_30/cole_01_0914_smf.pdf

in regard what to use for optical Mux/De-Mux looking at couple of supplier Cubo, AFOP, Oplink indicate what you are using are reasonable

2 dB - 4 Channel Mux/De-Mux
3 dB - 8 Channel Mux/De-Mux

The AFOP CWDM 4 channel mux has loss of 1.5 and for 8 channel only 2 dB.  Other suppliers losses are little higher, more in line with what you have 2 dB for 4 channels and 3 dB for 8 channels.

On slide 5 you referenced http://www.ieee802.org/3/bs/public/14_07/bhatt_3bs_01a_0714.pdf which has an error floor of 4E-4 for 106.25 Gb/s PAM4.  Bhatt result were based on to be published ECOC paper M. Poulin.
However the published ECOC results are little worse than what was published in IEEE.  Here are the BER results published in ECOC:
- 53 GBd PAM4 BER=2.9E-3
- 40 GBd PAM4 BER=2.4E-4
- 30 GBd PAM4 BER=1E-6
It looks like if you give PAM4 enough bandwidth as in the case of 30 GBd then BER improves and error floor improves.
