  7. 5. Energy-Efficient Digital Signal Processing for Fiber-Optic Communication Systems

    Author : Christoffer Fougstedt; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Digital Signal Processing; Forward Error Correction; Fiber Optic Communication; Application Specific Integrated Circuits; Communication Systems; Non-linear Impairment Mitigation;

    Abstract : Modern fiber-optic communication systems rely on complex digital signal processing (DSP) and forward error correction (FEC), which contribute to a significant amount of the over-all link power dissipation. Bandwidth demands are evergrowing and circuit technology scaling will due to fundamental reasons come to an end; energy-efficient design of DSP is thus necessary both from a sustainability perspective and a technical perspective.
