Simulation of 50 GBaud PAM-4 signals transmitted over multiple fiber lengths for WDM operation

The data sets consist of simulated waveforms of 50 Gbaud PAM-4 signals generated using optical transmitters based on EML arrays operating in the O-band, each one integrating on the same die a DFB laser, an Electroabsorption modulator and a Semiconductor Optical Amplifier for extra power boost. The purpose was to simulate the operation of 400 GbE, 800 GbE and 1600 GbE optical interconnects over various transmission distances. The optical signals from the EML transmitters are multiplexed using an AWG with 100-GHz 3-dB channel bandwidth and then transmitted over different lengths of SMF optical fiber. Each EML has 35 GHz bandwidth 3-dB bandwidth and 0 dBm optical output power. The data sets have a filename in the format “channel_N_channel#_amplifier_#km_waveform.csv”, where
N (the total number of channels in the optical interconnect) = 1, 4, 8, 16
Channel# (the specific channel that the data set corresponds to) = 1, 2, 3… N
Amplifier (the presence or not of an amplifier) = SOA : with SOA present, NOSOA : without SOA present
#km : the number of transmission kilometers
The data sets are parts of the Open data management plan of the TERIPHIC ICT project (GA No. 825502)
