What is the paper about?

Optical Amplification-Free 200 Gbaud On-Off Keying Link for Intra-Data Center CommunicationsWe demonstrate a 200 Gbaud OOK link without any optical amplification using C-band externally modulated laser with 3.3 dBm of modulated output power. We achieve below 6.25% overhead HD-FEC threshold after 200 meters of standard single-mode fiber.

The conclusions of the paper

In this paper, we transmit 200 Gbaud OOK signals over 200 meters of SMF without any optical amplification using the C-band EML. We achieve 3.3dBm of modulated output power at the optical transmitter output. The BER performance is well below the 6.25% OH HD-FEC threshold after the transmission over 200 meters of SMF.
