Experimental characterization of TERIPHIC quad InP EML array - Generation and transmission of 50Gbaud signals with NRZ and PAM-4 modulation formats

The data sets refer to the results from the experimental characterization conducted on the TERIPHIC quad InP-EML array, which operates in the O-band. Each EML incorporates a DFB laser, an Electroabsorption modulator, and a Semiconductor Optical Amplifier to provide additional power boost, all on the same die. Three out of the four EMLs were characterized successively and generated signals at symbol rates of 50 Gbaud and transmitted them over various fiber lengths. The modulated optical signals were detected by a single commercially avalaible photodetector with more than 70 GHz 3-dB bandwidth. The generated electrical signals were then sampled by a real-time oscilloscope with a 256 Gbaud sample rate. A low-pass filter with a 50 GHz 3-dB cut-off frequency was digitally applied to the oscilloscope to improve the signal-to-noise ratio.
The data sets have a filename in the format “Symbol rate#Modulation formats#EMLn#Transmission length#version.bin”, where
SYmbol rate = 50 Gbaud
EMLn, for n=  2, 3, 4
Transmission length = B2B (0 km), 2 km, and 10 km
Version: v1, v2 and v3. Same operating parameters but at different time index
 
The data sets are parts of the Open data management plan of the TERIPHIC ICT project (GA No. 825502)
