DS1. Simulation transmission studies of Terabit MCMs_POETICS POE-2_v1.0

The dataset presents the simulated received optical waveforms of an optical transceiver system based on EMLs operating at 100 Gbaud with PAM-4 signals in the O-band over distances beginning from 2 km up to 10 km of SSMF with a 2 km interval. Multiple scenarios regarding the bandwidth limitations that the signal faces during the transmission have been examined. The devices that impose the bandwidth limitations and are investigated in these simulations are: the laser driver; the electro-absorption modulator (EAM) part of the EML; the photodiode (PD) and; the transimpedance amplifier (TIA). Square-root raised cosine pulse shaping schemes with various values of the roll-off factor are tested, in order to evaluate the pros and cons in each case.
