Hi, for case 1 and all PAM implementation, I think the eye characteristics should be defined assuming some reference equalization (e.g. similar to what done for CAUI-4 electrical eye at TP1a). In general I tough in these we are exploring all options, including, for most high-order modulation cases, potential re-usage of components. So in principle I would not quote a solution to be “not realistic” and not consider it because there’s no clear eye diagram on the scope if these allow to close the link at the RX. Below the clear demonstration is the DMT signal (lewis_3bs_01a_0914.pdf) that is one of the options (with all the rights too) we’re considering.

Hi Winston, For Case 1, it is difficult if not impossible to define most optical parameters since the eyes are severely closed. This includes peaking. This is not a useful or realistic example and .bs is unlikely
to consider transmitters with such severe bandwidth limit. For Case 2a, the EML optical eye image is shown below magnified to a more useful viewing size, as the original thumbnail image makes it difficult to see what’s going on. It is now clear that the
blue outer waveform lines are beyond the 11 and 00 eye levels. Further, what the colors do not show are the tails of the distribution. The TX OMA penalty to accommodate this transmitter optical waveform is less than Case 2b examples, but is not negligible,
and should be accounted for in complete link budget analysis. To avoid this penalty requires broad excess bandwidth, as is possible using 50G components for 50G PAM-4. and appropriate pulse shaping for example Bessel. Similarly, many years from now, when we
have 100G components, we could eliminate this from 100G PAM-4 waveforms. Until then, all practical 100G PAM-4 approaches will have some level of peaking unless severe clipping is acceptable.

Chris, There are three approaches in IEEE802.3bs contributions regarding 100Gb/s PAM4: 1.
No DSP at the TX side, all DSP is at RX side. 2a. DSP at the TX side, with a pre-equalization that is performing the inverse function of the original end-to-end response. 2b. DSP at the TX side, performing Nyquist shaping. In case 1., there is no peaking due to the limited bandwidth of DAC, driver amp, or EML, as shown in the two experiments below: In case 2a, there is a peaking out of the driver amp, due to the suppression of low-frequency components, as you have quoted; but that peaking was smoothed out by the EML transfer function, as shown
below: In case 2b, Nyquist shaping clearly generates significant peaking mainly at a small alpha factor (e.g.,
a ≤ 0.1), but not at a large alpha factor (e.g.,
a=1.0). See diagrams below. Note that the jitter tolerance due to a small alpha factor is very poor due to the much smaller eye width, as can
be seen in the left-most diagram, and therefore may not provide the best performance even though it is more bandwidth efficient. Therefore, using a small alpha and a strong peaking as examples, as shown in your comparison analysis today, may not be quite appropriate. So Nyquist shaping with a small alpha factor is just one of the multiple 100Gb/s PAM4 approaches, and should not be generalized to say that all PAM4 modulations will generate peaking. There are
PAM4 approaches that do not generate peaking, and it is not true that “in all cases there is non-negligible peaking”. Thanks, Winston From: Chris Cole [mailto:chris.cole@xxxxxxxxxxx]
On today’s SMF Ad Hoc conference call, during presentation of “Optical Specifications of SMF PMDs Study” it was suggested that the only time there is peaking in a PAM-4 waveform is when using the
“Nyquist PAM-4” approach. Peaking is a function of TX bandwidth and pulse shaping. If TX is driven by a DAC, then pulse shaping is limited by the DAC sampling rate and analog bandwidth. In the case of the 100G/wavelength
proposals in .bs, even for “Broadband PAM-4”, the DAC imposes a severe limitation on pulse shaping, and in all cases there is non-negligible peaking.
A clear example of peaking can be seen in “Single Wavelength over 112Gb/s PAM4 …” by Way and Chan, despite the obvious design preference to have none. http://www.ieee802.org/3/bs/public/14_09/way_3bs_01a_0914.pdf#page=6 (see 3rd and 4th images) This peaking is unavoidable because of the DAC and Driver limitations listed on the following pages.
A complete link budget has to account for reduction in TX OMA to manage the clipping level due to component limitations. It is not acceptable to ignore this penalty. Chris From: Anslow, Peter
