Enabling 4-Lane Based 400 G Client-Side Transmission Links with MultiCAP Modulation

Figure 2

State-of-the-art summary; capacity per lane versus transmitted distance for the following modulation formats: Nonreturn to Zero (NRZ), pulse amplitude modulation (PAM), discrete multitone (DMT), carrierless amplitude phase (CAP), and multiband carrierless amplitude phase (MultiCAP), demonstrated in literature approaches to 400 Gbps systems based on IM/DD WDM are indicated by the black circle.
