High-speed SSB transmission with a silicon MZM and a soft combined artificial neural network-based equalization

We experimentally demonstrate high-speed metro-scale optical transmission of a single sideband (SSB) 4-ary pulse amplitude modulation (PAM-4) signal based on a silicon photonic dual-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM). We propose a novel, to the best of our knowl-edge, artificial neural network (ANN)...
