Abstract :
We present an integrated equalizer used for electronic dispersion compensation in the 1mm SI-POF home-networking scenario applying 650nm RCLED and SI-PIN-PD. Real-time experimental results demonstrate that the approach gives better BER performance then to date published with competing architectures.
