Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for enabling lower-bandwidth hardware components to support higher data rates. In particular, aspects of the disclosed systems and methods use Raised Cosine pulse shaping in short-reach links to band limit the signal spectra and thereby enable existing, such lower-bandwidth components to support higher data rates.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for increasing data throughput in short-reach optical communication links, the method comprising:\n receiving, at a transmitter, a first electronic signal; equalizing, by the transmitter, and based at least in part on transmitter property foreknowledge, the first electronic signal; pulse shaping, by the transmitter, and based at least in part on the transmitter property foreknowledge, the first electronic signal; converting, by the transmitter, the equalized and pulse shaped first electronic signal into an optical signal; sending, by the transmitter, and to a receiver, the optical signal; receiving, at the receiver, the optical signal; converting, at the receiver, the optical signal into a second electronic signal; filtering, by the receiver, the second electronic signal to minimize out-of-band noise and maximize signal-to-noise ratio for the second electronic signal; performing, by the receiver, timing recovery on the second electronic signal; equalizing, by the receiver, based at least in part on receiver property foreknowledge, the second electronic signal; and converting the second electronic signal into a plurality of bits for processing.
