  • Abstract
    We present an experimental demonstration of an optimized 16-level lattice-based single-cycle subcarrier modulation for IM/DD systems at 10 Gbps. The new format has 2.5 dB better sensitivity than single-cycle subcarrier 16-QAM and up to 1 dB better sensitivity than baseband 4-PAM at the same bit rate.
