25Gb/s 3-level burst-mode receiver for high serial rate TDM-PONs

摘要

We report the first 25Gb/s 3-level modulated BM-RX employing a ¼-rate linear BM APD-TIA and a custom decoder IC. We successfully demonstrated burst-mode sensitivity of -20.4dBm with 18dB dynamic burst-to-burst for 25Gb/s upstream links.
