204-GBaud On-Off Keying Transmitter for Inter-Data Center Communications

We demonstrate an on-off keyed transmitter with direct detection, at record symbol rates of 204Gbaud and 140Gbaud, over 10km and 80km, respectively, powered by a high-speed InP-based 2:1 selector and travelling-wave electro-absorption laser-modulator.
