Abstract

Key issues related to the design of electro-optic transmitters and receivers are discussed in this paper. These topics include limitations in 100G transmission systems resulting from the frequency response of devices and non-linear effects. Numerical simulations illustrate the importance of realistic modeling in such high-speed systems.
