Programmable VCSEL-based Transceivers for Multi-terabit Capacity Networking

Photonic transceivers adopting large-bandwidth vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs)at long-wavelength, coherent detection and adaptive digital signal processing are presented as promising programmable architectures to provide multi-terabit capacity in future software-defined optical metro networks. © 2019 The Author(s).Grant numbers : the Spanish AURORAS (RTI2018-099178-B-I00) project. © 2019 IEEE.
