Experimental characterization of TERIPHIC 4-fold and 8-fold InP photodiode arrays - Detection of 50Gbaud signals with NRZ and PAM-4 modulation formats

The data sets refer to the results from the experimental characterization of the TERIPHIC 4-fold and 8-fold InP-photodiode arrays, which operate in the O-band. The experimental setup consisted of a commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) laser source, a COTS Mach-Zehnder modulator, and the TERIPHIC PD arrays. For the purposes of the experiments, signals with NRZ and PAM-4 modulation formats and 50 Gbaud symbol rates were generated, transmitted, and detected by the TERIPHIC photodetectors. Two different subassemblies were evaluated. The first subassembly had four InP photodiodes and the second eight. The generated photocurrents were sampled by a real-time oscilloscope with a 256 Gbaud sample rate. The data sets are actually the samples extracted from the oscilloscope. The data sets have a filename in the format “Symbol rate#Modulation formats#PDn#Transmission length#version#Subassemblyn.bin”, where Symbol rate = 50 Gbaud PDn, for n=  1,2, ...,8 Transmission length = B2B (0 km), 2 km, and 10 km Subassembly for n=1 and 2   The data sets are parts of the Open data management plan of the TERIPHIC ICT project (GA No. 825502)
