Abstract

We investigate and compare the requirements of FFE/DFE based adaptive equalization techniques for NRZ and Duo-binary based 25-Gb/s transmission, which are two of the most promising schemes for 25G-EPON. A 25-Gb/s transmission system based on 10G optical transceivers is demonstrated and the performance of only FFE and combination of FFE and DFE with different number of taps are compared with two modulation formats. The FFE/DFE based Duo-binary receiver shows better performance than NRZ receiver. For Duo-binary receiver, only 13-tap FFE is needed for BtB case and the combination of 17-tap FFE and 5-tap DFE can achieve a sensitivity of −23.45 dBm in 25 km transmission case, which is ∼0.6 dB better than the best performance of NRZ equalization. In addition, the requirements of training sequence length for FFE/DFE based adaptive equalization is verified. Experimental results show that 400 symbols training length is optimal for the two modulations, which shows a small packet preamble in up-stream burst-mode transmission.
