Abstract
Conference Title: 2018 Optical Fiber Communications Conference and Exhibition (OFC) Conference Start Date: 2018, March 11 Conference End Date: 2018, March 15 Conference Location: San Diego, CA, USA A tunable optical QPSK to PAM4 converter is experimentally demonstrated. The proposed method maps four symbols of QPSK signal to four different amplitude levels which can be directly detected in photo-diode. Open eyes are obtained for the detected PAM4 signal.
