Re: [802.3_B10K] Dispersion Penalty Presentations



Dear Colleagues,

 

I received several emails asking about the reasons for the proposed changes to Draft 3.0. The good news is that at least some people are reading my entire emails. The flip side is that their questions may be motivated by a suspicion that the new values were pulled out of the air.

 

Table 1 below lists select draft D3.0 Transmitter and Receiver Optical Specifications. It also includes supporting data presented in 802.3cu, in yamamoto_b10k_01a_0118, yu_b10k_01c_0319, huang_b10k__01a_0918, and jackson_b10k_01_0918. The transmitter section entries are the average and sigma of all reported EML TX OMA data. TX penalties are rough averages of the reported data. The receiver section entries are the average and sigma of all reported APD RX Sens data. These distributions are used to calculate the yields of the transmitter and receiver due to TX OMA (min) and RX Sens OMA (max) limits, respectively.

 

Table 1 highlights in red the entries that are of concern. ER8 transmitter and receiver have unacceptable yields, resulting in a specification that is not manufacturable. During Task Force meetings, multiple participants raised this as a serious concern.  For example, yamamoto_b10k_01a_0118 shows that there is insufficient margin, and offers a remedy of a stronger FEC to increase margin by 1dB. These data driven concerns should not have been ignored.

 

Table 2 below lists draft D3.0 Select Optical Specifications with changes proposed in the submitted public comments. ER8 transmitter and receiver have good margins, although the receiver yield needs improving. Unfortunately, the ER4 receiver yield was severely degraded and an additional change is required to fix this.

 

Table 3 below lists draft D3.0 Select Optical Specifications with additional proposed changes to address the concerns identified in Table 2. Additionally, there is a proposed reduction to ER1 TX OMA (min), which was not one of the publicly submitted comments, although it was flagged as a concern in an earlier email. Use of high power EML for ER1 unnecessarily increases cost. Lower output power EML still results in high yield specifications. All the specification changes are highlighted in blue.

 

Thank you

 

Chris

Subject: FW: [802.3_B10K] Dispersion Penalty Presentations

 

Dear Colleagues,

 

I have received several private emails correcting errors and making suggestions for clarifications, to my previous email.

Below is the corrected text, with the addition of IEEE Public Review Comments that have just been submitted on the IEEE Standards site. The deadline for comments is today, so if you have any, now is the time to submit them.

 

The following is an explanation of Chromatic Dispersion Penalty (CDP) scaling with reach and Baud rate, and interplay with transmitter chirp characteristics.

 

CDP is proportional to CD coefficient, link length, and Baud rate squared.

 

CDP CD * L * B2

 

Calculating the exact penalty is complex, however the CD * L * B2 term can be used for direct, relative comparisons, by defining it as a CDP Figure of Merit (CDP FM).

For convenience, 10km and 25Gbaud are used for normalization.

 

CDP FM = CD * (L/10) * (B/25)2

 

Table 1 below lists key transmitters specs. and CDP FM for various codes, with red highlighting concerns. The take away points are:

 

  • 400GBASE-LR4 10km reach proposal had excessive CDP FM.
  • 400GBASE-LR4 6km reach baseline has reasonable CDP FM.
  • 400GBASE-ER8 40km reach baseline has excessive CDP FM for CD (min).

(Qualitative statement that 50G PAM4 “is a lot easier” than 100G PAM4 is not true at 40km. In fact the opposite it true;  400G ER8 40km (50G PAM4) is harder than 400G LR4 6km and 100G LR1 10km (both 100G PAM4). )

  • 400GBASE-ER8 30km reach proposal will have reasonable CDP FM.
  • 200GBASE-ER4, 400GBASE-ER8 40km baselines have excessive TX OMA (min). 50GBASE-ER 40km baseline may have an excessive TX OMA (min).

(This is higher than previous TX OMA values (0.3 and 0.1 dBm for 40G ER4 and 100G ER4, respectively), and is higher than other codes in Table 1. It will significantly drive transmitter cost up by likely requiring a TX amplifier. This undermines the Broad Market Potential, and is counter to the expressed need for low cost by Network Operators.)

  • 200GBASE-ER4, 400GBASE-ER8 30km proposals will have reasonable TX OMA (min).
  • 50GBASE-LR, 50GBASE-ER have not changed their suffixes to LR1 and ER1 to align with 802.3 convention established this year.

Table 2 and 3 below explains the dynamics of the review process that happened in 802.3cu and 802.3cn.

 

In 802.3cu the proponents showed favorable data for 400GBASE-LR4 10km using TX favorable to the proposal. The opponents showed unfavorable data using TX unfavorable to the proposal. Therefore, the Task Force had a complete data set for its review of Technical Feasibility.

 

In 802.3cn the proponents showed favorable data for 400GBASE-ER8 40km using TX favorable to the proposal. No unfavorable data was shown because no other type of TX was used. Therefore, the Task Force had an incomplete data set for its review of Technical Feasibility. And the missing data is exactly in the area of concern as identified by Chromatic Dispersion Penalty Figure of Merit analysis. Further, the data presented in 802.3cu for 400GBASE-LR4 10km, which has similar CDP FM for CD (min) to 400GBASE-ER8 40km was determined by the 802.3cu to have insufficient margin to be considered Technically Feasible. Therefore, 802.3cn has not established Technical Feasibility.
