Recent Progress of EDC Commercialization in Addressing Datacom and Telecom Challenges to Enable High-speed Optical Enterprise, Metro and Long-haul Networks

Abstract

We present a performance overview of the state-of-the-art FFE/DFE-based EDC implementation on the mitigation of optical impairments. The applications cover modal- dispersion-limited 10 Gb/s enterprise system with over 300 m legacy MMFs, and 10 Gb/s metro and long-haul SMF systems for chromatic-dispersion, and/or PMD compensation.
