400G and Beyond: Coherent Evolution to High-Capacity Inter Data Center Links

Coherent data transmission applications to the data center interconnect space are presented. We discuss methods of increasing the data rate beyond 400Gb/s, and the improvements in signal-to-noise ratio requirements when Ethernet optimized transport is used.
