Abstract
We propose and experimentally demonstrate a joint equalization scheme to recover a zero-guard band dual-single sideband (dual-SSB) four-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM4) signal in a system with moderate bandwidth limitation. In the joint equalization scheme, a multiple-input multiple-output feedforward equalizer (MIMO-FFE) is first used to mitigate the residual crosstalk resulting from non-ideal optical filtering. Then, a modified post filter (PF) is placed after the MIMO-FFE to suppress the MIMO-FFE-enhanced low-frequency noise, whereas the known inter-symbol interference introduced by the modified PF is further eliminated with the maximum likelihood sequence estimation algorithm. Based on the proposed scheme, we experimentally demonstrate a 112-Gb/s zero-guard band dual-SSB PAM4 signal transmission over an 80-km single mode fiber with the averaged bit error ratio of two sidebands below ${3.8} \times {{1}}{{{0}}^{- 3}}$. We also achieve, to the best of our knowledge, a record electrical spectral efficiency of 7.1 b/s/Hz for single polarization direct detection systems using a dual-SSB PAM4 or dual-SSB 16-quadrature amplitude modulation format.
