512-Gbit/s PAM-4 Signals Direct-Detection using Silicon Photonics Receiver with Volterra Equalization

A 400-Gbit/s Ethernet (GbE) pulse-amplitude-modulation-4 (PAM-4) over 10-km single-mode-fiber (SMF) transmission direct-detected by an integrated silicon-photonics-receiver satisfying the IEEE P802.3bs requirement; and its feasibility to support 512-Gbit/s were illustrated.
