With negligible chromatic dispersion (CD) and polarization mode dispersion (PMD) in short-reach interconnects, a low complexity and robust timing recovery and equalization scheme with baud-rate sampling is proposed and demonstrated experimentally, which aims to achieve a power efficient DSP. Instead of oversampled DSP with fully-connected butterfly equalization structure, baud-rate sampling DSP with one-tap connected butterfly structure must become the most power-efficient solution for short-reach optical interconnects, because spectrum aliasing and convolutional polarization mixing caused by CD and PMD can be ignored. Compared to conventional baud-rate and oversampled DSP scheme, the experimental results further confirm the advantage of the proposed scheme in BER performance and IQ skew tolerance. Additionally, the proposed scheme with baud-rate sampling and a simplified equalization structure can also save around 75% of power consumption with a negligible performance cost, compared to oversample DSP scheme.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19586,"journal":{"name":"Optics Communications","volume":"574 ","pages":"Article 131207"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142525960","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is therefore necessary to adequately correct the non-uniformity to fully utilize the high temperature sensitivity of the detector. Calibration-based non-uniformity correction technology is one of the earliest and most effective methods of correcting non-uniformity. Typically, a relatively uniform shutter is used to mask the field of view for calibration correction. However, this process interrupts the observation due to the need for masking, severely limiting its use in real-world projects. In order to maintain the performance superiority of the calibration-based method and eliminate the defect of target loss caused by masking, this paper takes the occlusion calibration as the theoretical basis, which consists of dual detectors to form a binocular detection system, and uses one of the occluded calibration auxiliary detector to assist the other occlusion-free primary detector, and takes advantage of the fact that the radiation is the same when observing the same target at the same time to make the correct response based on the steepest gradient descent learning algorithm, which removes the non-uniformity while achieving detail fidelity, no ghosting and continuous output.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19586,"journal":{"name":"Optics Communications","volume":"575 ","pages":"Article 131219"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142654657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
