Bandwidth-limited IMDD systems suffer from the noise boosted by the strong equalization at the receiver. This letter proposes a multiplication-free approach that reduces the impacts of the equalizer-enhanced colored noise through time-interleaving the received symbols and distorting the two-dimensional (2D) constellation such that the noise correlation is subdued. The 2D distortion map is predefined and retrieved from a look-up table. The proposed 2D constellation distortion is evaluated after the linear feed-forward equalizer and Volterra nonlinear equalizer. Experimental results show a BER reduction of 40% when the 2D constellation distortion is employed after the equalizer for the 135 Gbaud PAM4 and 110 Gbaud PAM6 signals. Owing to the proposed approach, we transmit a net data rate of 250 Gbps/ <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\lambda $ </tex-math></inline-formula> PAM4 and PAM6 in the O-band over 2 km of SSMF at a BER of <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$3.8\times 10^{-3}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> below the 6.7% overhead HD-FEC using a 47 GHz SiP modulator, linear equalization, and the proposed 2D distortion.
