Exponentially increasing network traffic requires hundreds of terabits per second data transmission rate, consuming around 9% of the electricity worldwide. Massive parallel optical links demanded to support the data transmission capacity, but not favorable in terms of scalability, energy consumption, complexity, cost, and size. A single laser source followed with semiconductor optical amplifier based optical frequency comb enabling data transmission of 6.78 Tbps over an 80 km single-mode fiber (SMF) is a possible solution to reduce the energy consumption, complexity, cost, and area. The data transmission over 80 km SMF also makes it suitable for inter-data center communication. So, in the proposed work, the evenly spaced and phase-coherent 113 frequency lines individually modulated using differential quadrature phase-shift keying at the bit rate of |
