140 Gbaud On-Off Keying Links in C-band for Short Reach Optical Interconnects

We demonstrate 140 Gbaud intensity modulated direct detection dispersion-unmanaged links with Mach Zehnder modulator and distributed feedback travelling-wave electro-absorption modulator over 5500 and 1960 meters of standard single mode fibre, respectively, enabled by compact and packaged ultra-high speed InP-based 2:1-Selector.
