Abstract
We demonstrate power-efficient noise-insensitive optical waveform generation from directly modulated lasers combined with periodic time-frequency windowing. Real-time experiments with direct FPGA-driven lasers achieve near-theoretical communication performance at Gbit/s rates using flexible and scalable transceiver designs.
