The module, based on the direct detect modulation format, is of much reduced complexity, power, and cost compared to the coherent systems that are currently being deployed for this application.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/new-cm-edgedigital.pages.dev\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/PAM4-DCI.png\" width=\"744\" height=\"675\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this paper we discuss the nature of and requirements for data center interconnects.
