Ali,
I'm sorry for my error on the reference -- I do resent the implication that my mistake might have been committed in earnest.
Frank,
I think Ali was attempting to lead us down a rat-hole here. The key points in our message are:
- Serial is the lowest cost in the long term
- Serial is technically feasible today
- Serial can be made low cost with the first generation of parts thru (a) 1310nm EML, (b) XLMD MSA, (c) minimization of costly RF interconnects (integrated packaging), (d) lack of non-recoverable engineering investment required to build integrated optics for multi-lambda solution, and (e) simpler assembly
- Serial can move to CMOS for low power soon
- Serial can move to low cost RF interconnects -- more detail to be presented in Korea
Colleagues,
I still believe that the IEEE would be best served with a 40GbE 10km SMF objective. I recognize that we seem to be split. I do not want to see the IEEE burdened with a PMD that has such a limited life/application as the 4lambda CWDM proposal. I look forward to our discussion in Korea.
sincerely

Ref.1 by Toifl does show an eye diagram similar to traverso_02_0708 except it is the output of the 40Gig Anritsu BERT
to test the de-Mux. Ref .1 did not implement a 40G mux so the eye diagram couldn't have come from this reference unless
someone made an honest mistake.
Thanks,
Ali

Mori-san;
I have that Ref.1 by Toifl handy with me, which one of its slides obviously show the similar eye diagram even with same scale. So you may pls kindly re-consider your following comment:
"It was a first time for showing this data in a public place, so there is no paper about this."
Otherwise sound scary to me.
Frank

Ali-san,
I'm Kazuyuki Mori, Fujitsu Labs. Matt-san may misunderstand for your question.
The eye diagram of page 11 in traverse_02_0708 is our test chip result using 65nm standard CMOS. It was a first time for showing this data in a public place, so there is no paper about this. The circuit architecture is almost the same as our 90nm design shown in ISSCC2005 8.2.

Ali;
I have interest to understand this as well. I feel the laser driver doesnot have to be CMOS such as in 10G for better performance.
I think what in Matt's slides actually talking about the high-speed driver portion of the CDR, which indicated in its Ref.1 of pg.11 by Toifl. Here is what I can find from google search for this Ref.
ISSCC2007
12.3 A 72mW 0.03mm2 Inductorless 40Gb/s CDR in 65nm SOI CMOS
9:30 AM
T. Toifl, C. Menolfi, P. Buchmann, C. Hagleitner, M. Kossel, T. Morf, J. Weiss,
M. Schmatz
IBM, Rueschlikon, Switzerland
A quarter-rate CDR circuit is based on a dual-loop approach where sampling phases are
generated by a phase-programmable PLL that is controlled by a digital DLL.
Implemented in 65nm SOI CMOS, the chip occupies 0.03mm2 and consumes
1.8mW/Gb/s. Measurements confirm 40Gb/s operation with a BER <10-12 at a maximum
frequency-offset of 400ppm. The phase relation between data and edge samples can be
programmed within ±0.1UI.

I looked at reference on page 8 Yagisawa-san's paper title "Compact 40-Gbit/s Electroabsorption Monolithically
Integrated DFB Laser (EML) Module with a Driver IC for Very Short Reach Application". The EML driver
IC is not described in this paper, but to drive an EML I expect the driver IC to be either in InP or SiGe.
Based on this driver data how did you arrive at the following statement on page 11 "40 Gb/s Driver Output Waveform In
65 nm Standard CMOS"? You are using InP or SiGe driver performance as proof that 40Gb/s is possible in
65 nm CMOS!
Thanks,
Ali

Ali,
The reference for page 11 is the same as the reference on page 8 -- Yagisawa-san's paper. My apologies that this was not clearer in the presentation.

I was reviewing your presentation from Denver traverso_02_0708. On page 11 you show an eye diagram
under sub-title "40Gb/s Driver Output Waveform in 65 nm standard CMOS", I assumed the reference for
this eye diagram was included in one of the 3 reference listed on this page. Can you please provide the
supporting material for reference eye diagram.
Thanks,
Ali
